Default Blocking off waterpump for oil cooled turbo

What do you guys use for this? I bought a very nice 951 waterpump but later got a good deal on an oil cooled turbo. It would be easier to just use an n/a pump but mine looks pretty bad and getting a rebuilt one is going to stress my already stressed budget. I had blockoff plates everywhere on my FC3S, I'm sure someone here has used something.

Use the block off/undrilled fitting off of the N/A pump. Cap the extra nipple on the turbo overflow tank or replace it with an N/A tank. You can replace the lower hose from the overflow to the radiator with one from a N/A, this will delete the hard lines that will no longer be needed, cleans the engine bay up quite a bit. You can just leave the ports open on the turbo.

My n/a pump didn't come with any blockoff, it's just bare metal where there should be one.

Thanks 87944, I looked around paragon but I didn't know that one didn't have a hole

I just picked up rubber caps at advanced auto. You can block off turbo thermostat nipple as well as the overflow tank nipple. Put caps on then tighten with circular clamps. No leeks so far.

As far as I know, all the t-stat housing come undrilled. Just use that with the factory o-ring and you will be fine. (last time I ordered one they sent me the only one they stock and it was undrilled)
