ya im guessing that hose isnt exactly a dealer part... Maybe take it off and get a ride to autozone and try to match it up with one they carry. Dont know what the quality would be like though compared to what a actual tuner might carry like wherever the turbo is from.

the only problem is the way it is shaped.. its all one piece so i dont think that i will be able to find a generic one to fit that, unless i want to try and fix it with duct tape.. but dont want to sacrifice the longevity of it.. and dont want to be too ghetto.

I would cover it with duct tape if its easy to access until you can find a new hose for it... like... A LOT of duct tape. Duct tape>boost leak.

I would never use a bike tire patch on a boost hose by itself.. if you do that, i would reinforce it with a few layers of duct tape. That hole is not a pin/nail sized hole, its blown out and there will be too much pressure for it to hold up.
