That hose is just there for the AWS (accelerated warmup system) which gives you the 3000 RPM startup. The Greddy elbow doesn't have it as Japanese cars didn't have AWS.
Remove the hose and get a cap to cap the other end of the hose. If you can't find the right size cap, go to the hardware store and look for chair leg caps. They are available in many sizes and work great.
Long term, you can unbolt that tube and get a blockoff plate to totally ditch the AWS.
