Seriously, could you use a pvc inner liner that would be the same size as the hard piping?

They make a silicone 2 to 1.5 reducer that will work there.

Hey Mike, as Crash stated, I had a similar issue. Mine appeared to be a little more dry rottted than yours but still similar in appearance. I ended up replacing it with a silicone hose.

So your split in the same location?
Awesome, I'm picking up a new hose tomorrow morning and putting it back together. I'm looking forward to making some logs and virtual dynos! :) The last one I did compared directly with my actual dyno. I'll also schedule a dyno session this week, I plan to do the following:
1. Dyno with the same tune the stock turbos was on.
2. Dyno with the new 22 to 25 degree of timing tune
3. Nitrous on top of #2.
Wish me luck! :)

Sadly it is the wife's car, so I can't go too crazy on it...just a simple tune for now.

Time to order some good quality silicon hoses and fab some aluminum/SS/or even just some painted steel tubing and ditch the plastic setup. I've seen a few 6.0L Ford diesels blow the factory plastic pipe.

I'm working on it, first step is to fix the existing blown hose then have upgraded pipe made. I'm seriously considering putting a new air to air intercooler up front or water to air. We'll see what I decide, need to take the bumper cover off.

Would there be a heat sink issue with metal tubing?  Would larger pipes from turbo to intercooler be of any benefit?

Also,  4DR, would a fluid intercooler using the A/C system be a possible choice or is this what is being referred to as a water to air intercooler?  Believe A/C compressor turns off automatically during WOT.

Air/water has a fluid encased intercooler that cools the charge. The fluid is then pumped to and cooled by a heat exchanger up front of the radiator. What you're referring to with the ac is a Killer Chiller that uses the ac system to cool the fluid instead of just a radient heat exchanger.

The pipes question depends on underhood temps. If the temps underhood are higher than boost temps, then the aluminum pipes would absorb heat. If the boost temps are higher, then the pipes would radiate heat.

Not complete apples to apples,  but on my diesel truck I noticed (as many others have)  an increase in lag when increasing the charge pipes from the stock 3" to 3.5" like that of the Banks intercooler on my truck.  Many will run the larger Banks intercooler with reducers to keep the charge pipe diameter.
