Default Fitting OEM dumpvalve to FMIC

Help please,

Cars always had the odd backfire and now my mafs screwed so apart from new maf I've bought an OEM dump valve. Now I've found a blanked off pipe which has to be for it (although seems quite large diameter), but my main question is I have a front mount cooler and the hose to the dump valve looks to big for the OEM. Ways round this? the intercooler pipes hole is big so how do I get hose off this that goes small to the oem?

V3 Type Ra

Thanks people

This is a separate dumpvalve, not screwed to the original intercooler, yes?

Mine is a forge after market one, although still recirculating, and fits on the end of a large-ish diameter pipe that is plumbed out of the FMIC pipework just before the turbo inlet.

I had a non recirc HKS coming off the intercooler pipe, but need to change back to OEM.

Used electrical tape just to see if dump valve fixed fault. Car ran better still stalls at lights. Anyone got a better method as it held for the test drive and has now worked loose. Try 02 sensor to stop the stalling but really need to find a solution to the dump valve problem too
