Default Help please

Got up this morning and washed the car (as you do) took it out, got 5 mins up the road and smoke started coming out from the engine, at first I thought it was where I'd washed it and some water had got in.

Pulled over and poped the bonnet only to find the pipe from the intercooler to the engine had a small split in it and coolant was ****ing out over the engine.

Called a mate for help who came along with some water pfoof tape and bottles of water, taped up the pipe and topped collant up with water

Anyone know where I can get a new pipe from in the Cheltenham area on a saturday lunch time? Also the name of the pipe so I know when asking

Also could/would this have done any other damage? After taping it up it was only about 2 miles to get home, rev's seemed to be sitting really high, the only way I can describe it is when I had the sport (non-turbo) and drove it when cold

I've put some pic's up of the pipe, any help would be appreciated
