Default Fitting standard dump valve with front mounted intercooler?

I have the Autobahn 88 front mount fitted to my sti 3, currently running with an hks ssqv, however I want to re-fit the standard re-circulating dump valve. What size of silicone hoses do I need?

Thanks,

Brian.

On my v4 I used a 38mm 45 degree elbow, cut down to fit just right between the IC pipework DV outlet and the DV input. Then a length of straight silicone hose, IIRC 25mm between the DV return pipe and the DV outlet. It does work, just.

I'm just not too fussed for the noise mate, and when the car was mapped it was shown to be causing the car to momentarily run rich whenever I back off the throttle.

basically, it CAN be done. Mine's an Autobahn 88 with a standard v4 DV and it does go. You just need to do a bit of cutting of the hoses to get them how you want them.
