Charge pipe blowout: typical. It did the same thing on my N55: a loud "pop". I put a hose clamp temporarily, and could drive it around, gently, while my aluminum replacement part was arriving.
An OEM plastic pipe will break again someday. My guess is that with a hose clamp, it would eliminate that problem. The stress wouldn't be on the C-clamp that much, that in return is stressing a small plastic part that breaks.
