2019 Inter Cooler Hose, cold side

Hey all just noticed my inter cooler hose has a crack. Unfortunately I can't get the part to my remote location until the 10th of Sept. Will covering the crack with like flex seal rubber tape get me by until then?

Misread.
On either side of the intercooler there is boost pressure, so doubt tape would work.
Maybe a split piece of hose with clamps over it.

I used a layer of this:

With duct tape over it and a pair of clamps as insurance as a temp fix, held 20 psi of a boot just fine. Looked ugly but worked, got a 1-1.5 mpg better on the ride home towing our 13k fifth wheel.

I have an SPE cold side pipe on it now, that was a TIGHT fit, especially on the intercooler but thus far has worked well and the machining was outstanding.
