there is no hole and nothing wedged in to it,
my 03 sti had the same and i was told it was to use a lever on for fitting the pipe

here is a link to another with the hole wedged shut.

I wonder if those guys realised that it's not just a 90deg. elbow but also has an offset as well! The turbo outlet is slightly different height to the intercooler inlet!
