Thermostat housing question

[zsn0w]

On my 1G lower thermostat housing, the port going to the outlet for the turbo has a little metal disk hammered in blocking it. Is this normal? Seemed out of place to me, but I couldn't find any pictures to verify this. Thanks!

I have a 1G housing on my shelf at home. I'll check it out for you when I'm off work.

Yes, that tab is normal.

I also have the same tab.
