Red face obliterated pipe from intercooler to turbo!

Driving to work this morning and decided to boot it a bit on the motorway and suddenly massive loss of power and a massive whoosh noise. I immediately knew it was an air leak (on a big scale) but I was shocked when I popped the bonnet that the intercooler connecting pipe to the turbo (my93) had torn in half. This is only running 1.2 bar

Is there an uprated pipe available or is now a good time to go fmic?
