Oil accumulator mounting position

I hope this is advanced enough for advanced tech....

I have an Air blatter moroso oil accumulator I am installing along with an oil cooler to eliminate my problems with hot oil and pressure dropoffs. The best place Ive found to put it is right beneth the ABS computer. But then it would be upside down(air bladder on the bottom) is that ok? Also it came with no instructions whatsoever and I've nver used one of these. Im assuming you fill it with about 5 PSI air pressure then fill it with oil before starting it??

If you relocated the battery and bought a new Summit catch can to replace the stock one/batttery tray you will have lots of room up on the passenger side front.

I thought about that. But I have subs in the back. Moving the battery is a last resort. Anyone know if the blatter can be installed with the oil outlet on top?

the -930 is gravity feed. you must mount it vertically. the oil feed will pressurize the canister when at full capacity. no need for outside pressurization. keep in mind that you will be pulling a quart and a half of oil from the crankcase so compensate.
