Clears the intake. Shouldn't be an issue.

Some people swear by lubing the piston, others don't. Personally, I've been running my BPV since July of this year and I didn't lube the piston. Nothing sticks and it's been running fine since. If you do decide to lube it, use Mobil 1 synthetic grease and nothing else.

The Vac. tubes on the newer models rotate so you can angle it wherever you need it. Mine came with grease on the piston and a note that says they are pre-greased so don't mess with it. 3 pain in the ass bolts later and it was in, real easy and sounds good too.

Yes, the opening should face down. See picture for why.
