There is enough cable to rotate 90 degrees but will it work fine in that configuration? I don't see any obvious reason it would care, but one of you might have contrary information.

Thanks!
Yes, u can mount the TB in any position you want so long as the connector reaches to accommodate fitment. I have mine (82mm on modified 996 cable driven plenum) mounted with the actuator on the driver's side. I'm not sure if Ben was replying to your post but it makes contact with the engine cover but it has not caused me any problems after driving like that for several hundred miles. I don't think you will have this issue though since the 74 is smaller. You can see the pic in my diy thread.
