No.... Not unless you are for some reason not using the water cooling capacity of your turbo.

I couldn't find plugs that fit my turbo, so I just left them open...
I ended up running water lines to the turbo a few weeks later and I just made sure to blow the water jacket out with some compressed air before I hooked the lines up. No problems so far.
I wouldn't worry about plugging them up if I were you. I would run water lines, it's really not that hard and prolongs the life of your turbo. But if you really don't want to run lines, I wouldn't bother searching for plugs, unless you already have them for some reason.
