Mounting compressor upside down

We are mounting our compressor upside down this year under the robot. In final testing we weren't getting the pressure up above about 80 psi from the compressor. I was wondering if other teams have done this? It very well could be a poorly adjusted safety valve. This was not checked and we frankly didn't think of it until after it was in the bag. Mostly I'm looking for a "we mount them that way all the time" or a "you can't mount it that way because..." And it is the Viair compressor. Just trying to think of things that need to be done on the first day of the competition...

Thanks!
