Fitting it backwards is just fitting it sideways, i.e. the small vacuum hose nipple is now facing the right as opposed to straight up.
I didn't notice a change in sound in the few hours I had it swapped. If I am honest, it was no louder than the OEM position did not change much in sound so I swapped it back. I feel more comfortable having it round the correct way it was intended.

sometimes it does sometimes it doesent the only thing to do is try it and see how you like it and how you feel it performs
Hope you like it, fiddling around with the jubilee clip on the bottom hose is a pain in the arse 
. I lost my friggin' 7mm socket down on the undertray too lol.

Its perfectly safe mate! im sure i read somewhere that forge actually tested it either way and said it was safe and it worked better the other way round!!. It depends if you like a chirping?squeeking noise. Give it a go and see what you think. I didnt like it i thought the oem way made a lovely subtle sound when lifting off the gas.
the standard way is better i think..........better sound, if i fitted forge hoses airintake,intercooler hoses would this in hance the noise anymore?? as there slighty bigger? anyone?
you should fit it the correct way round... the other way will most likely stall the turbo (even if only slightly) you may not notice it when driving but even a few turbo rpms will be making an impact.
otherwise Vw wouldn't have a "correct fitting" of the standard and Forge would do the same in their instructions. you need both boost pressure on the correct side and vacume to activate the valve propperly...
and the flutter on a 007 fitted the opposite way round (if you get one) is all that pressure backfeeding the turbo (try blowing into a fan you get the same sound) -- it sounds good but is as useful to your cards performance as a chocolate tea pot is at holding hot tea!

The induction kit will make the valve more audible for sure
