    it was done to reroute the coolant flow. I was suspect if you take the end cap off the same side you will see that the passage has been opened up to create a bypass. it's supposed to help with cooling on the rear cylinders or something like that, and also make it so you don't have to change the supercharger gasket each time the supercharger is removed.

    Here's one of the whys and how to
    97-03 NA L36 UIM Failure

    The basic reasons are to eliminate coolant leak when spacing or replacing a TB, getting around having coolant in the L36 which cracks after enough heat cycles or wanting to be able to yank the upper/SC/IC without draining coolant.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    it's still exactly the same idea regardless of L67 L36

    I get what you are saying, which is why I mentioned the SC and intercooler in that same blurb. Covers both the slow and the GOOOOOOO
