Plugging coolant feed to my turbo?

Im removing my stocker and making way for a T04 which isnt water cooled...

So I imagine I can just put a cap and hose clamp on the nipple from the water pump, but how do I seal up the other part...The part the goes back into the engine? Do they make block off plated for this?

EDIT: After lookin in the FSM, its the coolant feed line for the turbo. It comes out of the block and goes into the turbo. How do I block that off?

If clearance is not problem, I'd use a short sleeve of pipe to replace the origonal banjo. Then just use the origonal banjo bolt & copper washers.
It's crude but effective.

Maybe Im misreading, but Im trying to plug the block side...not the turbo side.

Make a little block-off plate from 3-4mm thick aluminium.

I was looking at it and could I just use a split air block off plate? I have an extra one from when I ordered the whole kit from K2RD...

It looks like it would work and I think Ive heard people talking about it before.

If it's they're exactly the same size then yes, but I think you'd be pretty lucky...
