it wasnt designed to face down, now you've got more force pulling down, sinces gravity pulls downward and its originally designed to be on its side (thus no gravity pulling it down)

I've heard that argument too, but in reality it will not do much if anything noticable at all. The engine produces plenty of vaccum and will move the VAF easily. At worst you might not as good of throttle response.

It's a stock B6DE with the exception of the (Green) filter, spark plugs en spark plug cables. I recently started to make it look a bit nicer. Next week I'll be spraying the valve cover and soon the intake hose will be replaced with an aluminium one and the whole engine cleaned properly.
Today I sprayed the header heatshield:

Now that I've got more oil on the inside of the engine, rather than the outside... sigh.
