Its an easy mistake to make.
I did that once too.
The 16v head doesnt even have one fitted. I never bothered to fit it. I dont think it suffers same issues as 5 port.

Yesterday I found out that I had made the above mentioned mistake
My car was warm in the summer, but last drive in September the car stayed cold. I assumed a faulty thermostat, bought a new one and unbolted the thermostat housing. When I had removed it I noticed the thermostat was sitting the wrong way around!
I tested it in hot water and it worked fine. Lucky because the new replacement unit didn't fit.
Years of doing stupid things has lead me to check the stupid things first.
