Broke my charge pipe clamp..

Long story short, I was pushing too much boost and the clamp that connects the pipe after the intercooler to the hose leading to the TB, I believe, popped off. I've gone to VW and they quoeted me almost 50 Euro for it, but I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find it anywhere else, or if there are aftermarket replacements. I appreciate it.

go to a parts store and get a v- band clamp. can't imagine any boost we can generate is to much for a clamp.

I found the problem, the clip just fell off. Went to VW and bought a new pipe, but I'll have to return it because I didn't need it...I now have a new problem, though.
