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.

is it a hole or a split??

If you had a hole that big in a car tire you should replace the tire, its a blow out, not like a nail puncture. Besides a car tire has constant pressure in it, and this boost hose has on and off pressure and it expands and contracts frequently- going from 0 psi to over 20 over and over and over, so eventually the patch wouldnt hold up. But the hose should be replaced eventually anyway so i think samco is the way to go like ace says.

Oil comes at the high rpms that's why I have oil catch can.
Oil comes from the hose that looks like DV connected on it. It connected to the inlet pipe so it return the oil to the turbo

the only thing is see costing more money is if you wanted rolled/beaded edges.. so the hoses stay on better... either way.. shouldnt cost that much at all... even if you dont bead the edges just clamp them on good, if it pops off then roll/bead the edges
