that's because it feeds coolant to the turbo

The stock water cooled turbo used coolant to keep temps in check.
The LIM is machined with only one hole.
Mazda only builds one type of rotor housing.
Since the rotor housings come with those blasted holes on both the front and the back, one of them isn't being used.
Thus, you're left with one hole being "blocked" by design.
