Ah man, you're right...that's gonna annoy me now as well!
Whats worse that most of the most of the time people mean the key anyway... Genuinely received an email after selling a 306 a couple of years ago - 'Hi, Can't find the locking wheel nut in the boot'. Well that's not surprising really is it.

yes heat rises but there wont be any time for convection to happen as its all forced through and under pressure. IMO it will have no difference whatsoever!
I'm not sure it's quite that simple? Yes the air gets forced through quickly, but the IC will hold some of the heat (ever touched an IC after a hoon, much hotter than I ever expected!) so you really want the hot air to enter at the top where there will be more residual heat anyway imo. Will it make a noticeable performance difference, I really don't know, but I do know factory ICs tend to be mounted that way, or with both ports at the bottom (there are exceptions though). Why haven't MCM done a useful test like this so far?
