Take a real close look at the hole. I have a 15G that I'm getting ready to rebuild (I smell another writeup coming) and, as I look at the hole, it looks like it is possibly threaded. You might be able to put a threaded plug in that hole but I think it will need a shallow head so as to not interfere with the oil line that goes between the turbo and the exhaust manifold.

I plan to do preventive maintenance in the Spring of 2013.

So in addition to hose 6842190, can someone give me the PNs for all the coolant hoses in that turbo area?
I want to replace them all as I hate to do things twice.
