TPS flip 180 degrees, will it work?

Ok I bought a Venom intake manifold that was supposed to be a direct bolt on but that could not have been further from the truth! So first off I will recommend that NO ONE BUY A VENOM INTAKE MANIFOLD unless you feel like spending a lot of time fabricating parts and cannibalizing your throttle body.

anyway after I got it installed, i started to put the throttle body on and the TPS sensor housing hit the manifold. The only way to get the TPS on the throttle body was to turn it around 180 degrees. I just need to know if this is going to work?

Thanks for the help guys!

I hate to sound ignorant but where do I test the voltages at?

16g... Do you have yours set up the same way? If so were you able to get the factory connector to connect to the TPS or did you have to cut it and make it longer?

Also I had to cut the idle set screw stopper, out on the throttle cable connector to get it to clear and cut out the cruise control box, did you have to do this as well?

I bought my throttle body from Mike monroe at throttlebodies.com. He had it backwards so I just left it. I had to take some tape off the wiring loom to get the connector to reach. No big deal.
