is it possible

to install a vented opti wrong? lol I just put a new one on and the car wont start.. it kicks but wont fire over.. I though it just goes in the dowel on the slot that is squared at the top. Could i have installed it 180 off?

If you are sure the pin is in the right slot, then you've probably forgotten to hook something up (coil, ICM, opti harness, etc.) or your new opti is DOA. It is not possible to install it 180-degrees out as long as it's in the right slot.
