Default Boost leak

Following my dump valve question earlier last week, it turns out that I have a small air/boost leak from one of the pipes connected to the dump valve. I'm looking to get a replacement but I've not the foggiest what I need to search.

Does anyone know the correct term for what I need to purchase? I've found this but not sure if its correct?

Any help would be greatly welcomed!

Ah ok, I'll look out for a replacement standard. Yeah it has a tiny little split in it, not sure if its actually causing an issue at the minute but would like it replaced.
