Welcome (again) to UrS ownership. That hose with the split is called the "Michelin Man" hose and typically fails due to oil accumulating in the corrugation valleys and rotting the rubber. *VERY* common failure.
Solution is a new (not used) OE hose or a full set of Samco silicone hoses (turbo to cross-over, cross-over to SMIC and SMIC to throttle body).
Has anyone here brought anything off Ecs tuning ?
iv placed an order on there website for an Michelin man hose dating back the 1st week of this month , what has happened is they have back ordered me on the order
I made the payment through PayPal and it is still pending there is no way i can cancel the payment on paypal from going though to them , does anyone know if they have a uk number ? , also there numbers they have displayed on there websites do not go through emails have no help what so ever on cancelling orders

I have bought things from ECS. The odd time things have been back-ordered (they don't necessarily have things in stock and actually order through an Audi dealer and resell). I wouldn't panic (yet). They will refund your money if they can't fill the order. In fact if I remember correctly, they don't actually charge until they have shipped (but that might be if you phone the order in with a VISA).
An Audi dealer that I always check for pricing says the 034145720D is a warehoused item:
Bit late now, but Roose Motorsport would have supplied the hose.
They do the a set of boost pipes for a UrS6 even though it may not show up on their web site. I bought black oem style hoses, rather than coloured hoses, they are special order and take a bit longer. HTH.
This particular pipe is a very common failure as Dave said.
It tends to be good advice to buy more locally with a few exceptions.
Not much help right now with your current situation, but may assist with the next issue.
Don't bother with ECS for OEM parts.They don't have stock and just order from Audi. More often than not are more expensive than going to the dealer anyway, plus then you have to pay shipping and import duty. My 2c
yeah right i see pain in the *** them lot , how annoying that there's no communication with them what so ever
anyway iv had luck i rang paypal the other day and asked why there is no pending payment with Ecs tuning .. baring in mind a few days back i emailed ecs telling them to cancel my order no reply from them after that only paypal told me that they have cancelled the order Happy days
