Boost pipe split!!! HELP!!

[1982mk1]

Ive noticed recently that the G isnt pulling as well as it use to   , so i went for a look under the hood and found that the boost pipe between the charger and IC has got a split in it!!

Im guessing you cant buy these parts new anymore,

so does anyone have a spare one knocking about or knows of a decent replacement part??

Could i get away with a aftermarket blue silicone hose??
Also what sort of temp would be running through the pipe?? Under 170 C??
Any help or advice would be great  

Cheers in advance!!

people tend to use 45-deg silicon elbows. temp wont be an issue

failing that I have a spare OEM one, its not split all the way through but it starting to show signes of going so it might get you another few thousand miles. Drop me a pm if you want it. Fiver delivered or something?

Thanks for the offer but think ill just buy an aftermarket one after what people have said.
Does anyone know the I/D of said boost pipe??

Thats expensive and if you run toothies i dont think it will fit as its not long enough,

I think I paid 7 quid delivered for my 45 bend for that section. Derby performance hoses , give em a ring always cheaper on the phone.
