Turbo Inlet Pipe Cracked

I'm reposting this here for some potential imput. I'm sure there are opinions for replacement. I've found some discussion on the topic but no definite solution.
My pipe is cracked through (under) the clamp at the turbo inlet. I'm guessing it won't cause a problem in the short term but eventually will start sucking air and dirt and that wouldn't be good, so I need to replace it.

My question is, what should I replace it with ? Should I go back with stock, pick up a silicone pipe; whose?, or is the Alta or DeJoene hard ones really worth the money? Or is there another option out there I'm not finding?

The JCW pipe looks like an option but are the inlet sizes at the turbo different requiring some kind of filler to make up the difference between the inlet size of the S turbo?

thanks!
Mike

My stock Turbo inlet pipe split right underneath the hose clamp (in the same spot). I looked into replacing mine with a Samco hose, but ended up going OEM. I was in a time crunch, and for what it's worth, it was also the cheapest option at that time.
