CAC drain?

Ok so not knowing all that much about the techie side of this engine I find myself wondering if having a drain off for the CAC would be an idea??
I know it is incredibly manual method of me to think of but if the CAC got drained off now and then would it help to reduce the intake of water to the engine when I romp on it now and then?

Just putting it out there to the guru's...

Is water pooling in there and building up over time? I'm not an expert on these type of systems, but that doesn't sound like the sort of thing that would be common.

I'm not sure if it builds up or not...sometimes it stumbles a bit if i crank it and I wondered if it was lingering water or something developed that day?

Sounds like water, no it won't hurt to put a drain, there's video out there of guys doing it. One guy does trail runs with a 1/8 hole drilled and running it WOT and than plugging it and there only 1psi difference in boost.
