Can you take a picture of what you're describing as the Air intake breather pipe? Air intakes and breathers are usually different parts.
Split boost pipes can cause the turbo to work much harder than it should because it's trying to compensate for the air being lost. I've regularly seen turbos let go soon after a major boost leak.
Were you getting a turbo whistling sound before the engine killed itself? It definitely sounds like it ran away due to catastrophic turbo failure.
