OMP block off plate

Alright, I need an OMP block off plate. I have been searching to no avail, and I would like to not have to fab my own. I hear that K2RD may have had some, but the website seems defunct. Any suggestions?

I was considering 1/8" aluminum, to be a little more beefy. I assume you snipped or dremeled something?

Do you suppose your method will work for the air-pump pipes removal/blocking (located in the rear of the 13B-REW)??

for the airpump pipe i cut the flange off the pipe, then took a welder and filled in the hole.

then i grinded it down. dosent leak and looks pretty good

I also had one done this way by a shop for my oil blockoff for the turbo, i cut the flange off and had them fill and grind it. It cost me like 10$

oh and i have probably like 1 hour of welding under my belt and i did the flange myself, its really easy
