there diffinatly water ports, have two o-rings sealing them,and they were leaking and blowing all the water out with radiator cap off, but yeah a few people said the aust model/version didnt have the holes in the charger,so seems to be normal,

just got to find out now why its lost power, surge's and miss's a bit, used to be one big miss and kick in and go ok, but had the manifold to charger gasket changed cause i ***t it when i did it and those water jakets were leaking and running thru motor (never made it to oil thou, straight out exhaust?) but since got it back its not really kicking in at all. in 1st it stops reving at 5000rpm then nothing for a second or 2then changes gear and go's ok for a little and drops out again. try'd changing plugs and no difference. all vac lines seem ok, the bypass is shutting and pod not leaking, its more noticeable in second when have foot down for a longer period, with a quick boot it seems ok. was thinking mayb fuel's running out of pressure. but dont want to by stuff i dont need. aslo were thinking mayb the water leaking in was giving it more power somehow cause went better leaking water thru charger. it feels like it miss's a bit with the slightest bit of throttle when first take off too. bloody frustrating
shouldn't it be loosing traction/spinning a tad in first when floor it????? (with lsd +ss mags)
