Why not just plug yours and save $100-$120 and spend it on a performance mod? Just do this .

All you need to do is gut it and tap it and put a NPT tap plug in it.

Not sure what size he used but. Most use a 1/4 NPT tap and plug see the pic above you can see the tap and to the right you can see the plug. Removing the turbo and pedestal is not hard. Just take your time read up on it before you begin there are a few tricks that makes it easier the clamp to the down pipe is a pita after you do it a couple times its easy.

I can't remember if it was 1/8" or 1/4" it is really easy to remove the turbo and pedistal a few bolts, the spider the clamp off the babys butt and the dwon pipe clamp and your golden.

It's a 1/4" NPT tap & plug. You don't even have to drill the hole out -- it's already the right size for tapping. 1/8" NPT is for the pyro sensor adapter... 
EDIT: And if you're going to use a standard 1/4" NPT pipe plug, don't run the tap all the way through like he did. Try test fitting the plug when you get about half way into the hole with the tap. If you go too far, the plug won't get tight.
