Hoses for later type top mount

Hoses for later type top mount
I'm putting a my97 top mount intercooler on my 93 WRX.
The intercooler has a separate dump valve elbow, but this needs to be removed and blanked off as its fighting for the same space as other engine components.
I need the Y shaped hose (not the oe plastic one), but I think I need one with a dump valve take off - is there such a thing available?

I bought the samco turbo hose kit (version 1/2) pre 96 type. The lower hose that connects to turbo & tmic has a nice long pipe that T's off the bigger diameter pipe. Plus the samco piping seems to have more flex (easy to move around).
When I fitted the later straight tmic to my95 wrx I retained the standard dv.
Regarding the original my97 dv connection point (alloy hose) Cut it off as close to the flat front face of the tmic. Then blank it off. I used a square piece of 2-3mm thick alloy & welded around it all. That should help give you some clearance (ICSV).
