It doesnt matter which way it faces as long as its connetced up properly.

Just make sure you use optimax or super unleaded at the very least least..!!! dont use normal unleaded..!!!

I sometimes run octane booster.

The reason is the petrol in japan has a higher RON rating than fuel in the uk.. In japan there fuel is rated between 100-102 RON where ours is 97 RON for super unleaded and an apparant 98.9 for shell optimax..!

Octane booster can be bought from most motor shops i.e halfords e.t.c... but make sure you get some that is compatible with an oxygen sensor and CAT..!

see here for octane booster.
