Airbox rubber pipe

Sup, is it normal for this rubber pipe on the upper right side in airbox to be so “sucked” in?

If not can anyone send a photo of it?

Damn, so is it possible that when kompressor starts spinning this pipe is getting sucked more and it causing smaller boost?

It’s not exactly the same airbox but thank you, maybe someone else will send a photo of the same airbox

Is there any part number for this pipe or do i have to buy whole airbox? I can also do bodge so it won't be sucked in or just remove this pipe.

thank you for that it will help in the future for sure but unfortunately there is everything beside this pipe so i guess.. bodge it is

Anyway, does anybody know if that’s the pipe thru which kompresor suck the air or is it the pipe of recirculation so the air is pushed thru it to the airbox. Because if the air is pushed thru it than there is no problem if this pipe is collapsed
