If your turbo is internally wastegated then that nipple is where you run the vacuum line from the wastegate.

More specifically it is simply a place that you can use for a vacuum/pressure scource for anything. Blocking it off with a bolt is ok, IMO drop the $1 on a brass fitting to block it off.

I personally have 2 vacuum nipples on the inlet housing, and one fitting on the compressor housing. I use it for my external WG.

yep. it is used for the wastegate. Best thing to do is get a brass fitting and block it off. I used a vaccum manifold on teh brake booster line for my boost controller and gauge etc.
