Turbo pipe split

Had land rover assist out the other day. Started to hear the turbo blowing whilst driving, got out to check but could not see anything. Carried on driving and then it kept going to limp mode. LR assist came to my place of work within an hour, removed the pipe ( after a struggle as it seems to have been stuck on after it blew off when it was new) and it was split at one end, just after the clip, and it was splitting at the other end too but not gone through yet.
The vehicle is about 15 months old and done 29k. Would have thought it should last a bit longer than that. I also had problems with the turbo pipe on the 2.4 I had before.
Just remembered about this so off to ring land rover for the new pipe to be fitted. Lets see how long this one lasts!

Had the pipe replaced, just had a look what they have done, and it looks to be a modified part. Before it was short rubber hose onto a plastic pipe and now it's just one length of rubber pipe with no plastic pipe at all.
Lets hope if lasts better than the previous one.
