Default ISV direction?

Cleaned my ISV tonight and glad I did it was partially stuck and grungy.
Unfortunately, was focusing so much on how to get to the clamp screws and remove it I was not paying attention to the direction of air flow until after it was ready to go back in. I am guessing that it should be in the same direction as the intake air flow??

Non-varioram, '95 993 should the air flow arrow be pointing at you (to rear of car)? The setup seems bit different from the varioram model in the p-car DIY .



Thanks once again for your help!

Thanks for the post. Yes, that does help. I think I have it in correctly.
If you look at the top left side of the canister above where the hoses connect there should be an arrow pointing toward the rear of the car.
