Default Samco inlet hose trouble! A brake line as almost torn through the tube!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/89878/samco_intake_001.jpg"></center><p>As you can see in this picture there has been a lot of rubbing. First question is how do you guys reccommend to fix it for a couple months so it doesnt get worse, I am replaceing it eventually. Also, why did this happen? My fault? Samcos? Car God?


Thank you as always.

Looks like that metal tube melted the Samco. Is it an oil line for turbo?
