afm need to be level?
yes I did a search, and no I didn't find a direct answer to my question.
I am brain storming on making a cold air intake for my 89 tII. one question I have though, does the afm need to stay level? does anyone have experience with this that can give a for sure answer.

In theory, yes. If its off center the door isn't going to respond exactly how its calibrated to with that gravity thing interfering.
Edit, Wait. You have an 89... s5.... No AFM, you have a MAF. With a MAF it doesn't matter how it sits, there's no mechanical door inside it to measure airflow.

It looks a lot like a MAF sensor, but the S5 AFM has a spring loaded cone rather than a sensing wire. Since it is symmetrical, its positioning does not affect its function as much as an asymmetrical S4 vane AFM.
