Cut off the alloy pipe & have a plate tig welded over the hole.
Thats what I had done to mine.

As above, then add a tube for the dumpvalve on the piping that goes to the turbo.

As above or remove the red hose & buy the samco version 1/2 turbo hose kit. That way you will be able to retain your standard dv & its position.

Note the samco hose is longer than required, so a bit of trimming down to suit.

I would'nt waste my money on a cheap frontmount, the flow rates are s**t!! Unless your looking at doing alot of trackdays or running huge amounts of power they ar'nt worth it. You'r much better off fitting a larger sti topmount!! I'v just finished fitting an sti8 intercooler to my m/y94 sti1!!
