Your common sense and logic is not welcome here.

If not confident of doing this give Stechnic a call or MMS or whatever specalist is near you to solve said problem.

Maybe even order the hoses and clamps from someone pick them up then offer beers and steak and im sure a couple of us can come help you swap the hoses out .

It is a common thing to happen and 99.9 % sure that would be your issue . Just pull the intercooler off and inspect the pipes .

Update: I checked the Y piping and there's no splits in it, looks pretty much all to be in tact, I have restarted the ecu and gonna wait until I get the top mount back in place,

Do you reckon it could be anything else?

Update: I found out why I wasn't getting a reading on my boost gauge the turbo melted the vacuum hose from my blow off valve to the boost sensor so just need a new vacuum line as for the check engine light I re flashed my ECU and the light hasn't appeared since, the y pipe is fine, just needs a oil change now I think hahah
Cheers for the help guys!

Just a little advice for you or anyone reading this do not reset your ecu if you had a DTC logged in the system as this helps greatly in finding the cause of the illuminated check engine light.
also by resetting the ecu you have lost any learned values that can help with fault finding.
secondly resetting the ecu puts it into rough correction which in a 16 bit ecu is 8 out of 16 or in the case of a 32 bit ecu sets it at .5 for the ignition advance multiplier.
more than likely you had a boost spike from the cold weather and denser air with a p 0244 boost soleniod range DTC from not having the waste gate duty table calibrated correctly.
