$150 is way too much for this part.
I've been through this and (depending on how much boost your car makes) you'll never patch it with tape. I tried duct tape, electrical tape, plumbers vinyl tape, metal tape.
What did work is I sheathed the thing with strips of rubber material about a quarter inch thick held on by a large number of hose clamps. It looks ridiculous but it works until I can find a silicone replacement. The elbow is not a standard size. I searched everywhere online for something close and then gave up on it for now.
Good luck and let us know if you find anything. search hint: measure the openings and convert to mm, some hose companies use metric.
