Hi Adrian.

Remind me, is your car modified in anyway?

If it isn't then you might want to try to find out why that section of pipe ruptured. Is it rubbing against anything else? Is it near a high heat source?

If your car is modded, then perhaps turn it down a touch?

Too much boost can blow the pipes off intercoolers! Looks like yours had a weak spot that went before the clips holding it on did!!

Later dude and glad it isn't too bad.
