Default Help, Waterpump block off plate???

While replacing my waterpump, I noticed my block off plate, is ACTUALLY a block off plate, with no hole for the coolant to flow through to the front coolant pipe. Is this right? Or do I have a NA part where I should have a turbo part?

You can drill out the fitting on the block off plate if you need to, its really easy to do.

They're all closed off, you have to drill open your own hole if need be

The black fitting (951.106.313.00) has a hole and the white fitting (944.106.313.00) does not.

Last time I ordered one, I was told that the only one they could get was the NA plate. Paragon doesn't even list the 951 PN on their website anymore.

Yes sir, I appreciate that. Chuck is much faster at it that I am so i just IM him what to add and it's up in a manner of minutes. We sometimes ASSUME something is on our site...only to find it's not there for some reason. Gee, I wonder why we're not getting orders for......

Thanks for the heads up!
