Need help finding a turbo hose for Ghibli

Just trying to figure out my options. I have a slight tear in my Ghibli's turbo hose and because sourcing an original involves buying the entire system for a few grand I'm seeing if I can just get the replacement hose itself.
I know someone who is breaking one and they're offering me 80 quid posted. But then I see this on ebay:

So they all seem like the same thing to me. Aftermarket sure, but a hose is a hose. Just wondering if it would be better to get the used one for 80, but it's used (but it's most likely OEM). And is there any reason why one of these is double the price?

Mine is a 2014 Diesel.

My neighbour across the way spent an entire day battling to fit an aftermarket turbo hose to his QP, he eventually got his dad to cut it.

Right, so maybe making sure the fit is good trumps all the other factors? i.e. get the used one?

I don't think they are the same parts. The top one appears to have a double bend. You posed on FB yesterday? Did you reach out to the guy who's breaking one?

I didn't pose on fb yesterday but I did recently comment on a thread there.
But, double bend? I must be missing something, they all look the same to me?

Ahh someone else posted with a split. I may just be the angles but the bottom two to me look like plain right angles as it were. The other one appears to have an slight S bend at the top left.

Just for observation the originals at Scuderia seem to be £3-400 depending on which side of the intercooler. Or am I missing something?

I got this one for my Ghibli Diesel in April. Seemed no different to the original one but I’m no mechanic or professional hose critic. ‍♂️

I’m sure that small pipe will do the job. What you need to do is cure the reason it split in the first place. If you turn the engine cover upside down it will become apparent. I snip the offending trim clip off and cover with hot glue which is softer.

How much for a frickin bit of rubber hose? I bet it's single ply too...jeez!

Seriously, how much air pressure does it have to contend with? Probably just 1 bar if it's coming from the intercooler. Or am I missing something?
