Coolant Crossover Pipe Modifications for Single Turbo

[VMCB5S4]

I've started modifying my coolant crossover pipe in prep for a single turbo kit install soon. I'm using the Project B5 kit photos as a guide.

I will be removing the coolant after run pump along with hoses and the coolant temperature switch on the driver side of the crossover pipe. In the above PB5 photo, there appears to be a plug in place of that temperature switch. Does anyone know what plug that is from experience? I'd like to buy the proper one to ensure no leaks occur.

I know I could just replace the o-ring on the temp switch and reinstall it in there but I'm really trying to make it clean and get rid of all useless parts along with trimming up the wiring harness. I reached out to Nick at PB5 with no response. I have no doubt he's a busy guy so I'm trying to find these answers elsewhere.

For fun, here are some pics of the progress so far.
