top mount question
as you may be aware from previous questions, i am a bit of a novice with cars....
brought this top mount off someone who said it came with everything for direct replacement, mine has the angled tm.
so first question: whats the pipe on the right of the new tmic for?
and second: wheres the dump valve go?

my current tmic doesn't have the right hand pipe, where do i put the new one, or does it need blanking off?
so the red pipe pictured on the new tmic needs to be replaced for one with a pipe coming out for the dump valve?

the red hose comes from the turbo, the black hose on the right is ususally to a recirc valve and the big black hose in the middle goes to the throttle body.
Those fins want straitening or it won't do it's job very well!

If you want to reuse your 1995 OEM "180deg" recirc DV, you'll need a silicone reducer hose. It'll be either a '34mm-to-19/20mm' or '32mm-to-19/30mm' ID -- can't remember the OD of the STi v.3/4 IC's curved DV port (on extreme RHS as you look at the pic).
You'll then need a bit of 19/20mm ID flexi silicone hose and a 19/20mm OD ally joiner, to recirc the DV's other recirc outlet port back across the bay and to turbo intake's recirc inlet port.
You'll find that the DV elbow on the new IC will foul with your ISCV though

That is a sti 3/4 tmic, so the guide above is no good.
The pipe on the right will hit the idle control valve. You need to cut it off, and weld it closed.
Also, you'll need to figure a way of fitting the dump valve, as it won't have a pipe for it now. You could run without one mind, a few on here do.

you need a silicone version 1 samco(or equivalent)tubo hose,it will fit on the Y pipe and allow you to use the existing dump valve.before you get well into it though take of the slanty intercooler and measure the gap as you'll find it's a bit of a squeeze.version 1 manifold's make it a pig of a fit.had to major adapt a new age one to fit it to my v1
