Default Vortech what goes in this hole?!

Ok so I have a empty hole in the top of my blower I bought used and I can't seem to find where in the directions it says to run anything to this. Is it supposed to be blocked off with a hex head bolt like all the others?!?!

Thanks so much bud. Hey is there a hardware store type bolt I can use to install the pulley on the blower? I didn't get one with my blower or the used pulley I bought.

His is set up for a FMIC... if you don't have one, yours shouldn't be facing that direction.

ok what type of sealant is used on these plugs? The other two were kind of loose too and those aren't like a bolt but more of a set screw and it needs a sealant to keep it from threading any deeper. Would blue locktight work? I tried ultra black rtv but it stayed way to soft. Without anything on the threads you can turn them either way with great ease. The old stuff on them was a whiteish yellow color. Is this liquid teflon or something?

i was told by vortech, not to use any type of sealant on the threads, especially teflon tape.

the plugs in the blower however did have sealant on them. It's all that keeps them in there since they don't actually tighten down it seems.
