How much was the MST Unit?
The MST unit is $189 from Kies Motorsports and is almost all silicone. The FTP unit is $179 on eBay and is almost all aluminum. Since these pipes are only passing atmospheric pressure air into the turbocharger, it isn't like they'll ever be exposed to high pressure and I'm certain both will function fine.

so mine broke exactly like yours, although the flange is still connected to the turbo and im unsure how to remove as i dont see a bolt (see pic https://ibb.co/xfN0P6L), this pic taken with my hand down engine bay taking picture blindly, cant tell if the bolt is just covered with oil or what. hopefully i can get a better feel when i get under it this weekend, part comes in tomorrow. what im also confused about as you can see in your pic is the "missing" stem from the "middle" port that you see on the new one in your pic. did this break off too? and if so, is the stem stuck in the hose that connects to it? i havnt investigated it that far yet.
