you say has a crack/spit, did you remove this pipe from the turbo and have a good look as these do split because they become soft,

Yes i did. When the piece is in its natural state you dont actually any splits. When its squeezed or manipulated, thats when the cracks appear.
It has become pretty soft as well. Requires very little force to collapse it completely in my hand.
I have added a picture as well.
I have to also mention that the heated nipple was secured into the rubber using a ziptie so im guessing someone has already had a go at this before.
All the other rubber turbo pipes are pretty soft as well. (Except the one going from MAF to the metal pipe going to the turbo).
