You might have that backwards.

The Mitsu PDF that is often quoted on this topic states that the delta style VG's are angled at 15 degrees to the local airflow direction near the car's center line.

...the delta-wing-shaped VGs must be installed at an angle of 15° against the vehicle centerline for the central position, whereas they must be installed at an angle near 0° for outermost positions.
