Just buy silicone hose which is obviously the same internal diameter of the damaged hose. Buy a couple of metres and cut it the appropriate size and replace. You can get hose like that from automotive stores or ebay.
For the plastic t pieces and y pieces etc. again online or any auto shop. I actually bought a large selection box of little t pieces etc from halfords for less than ten quid. Really handy for vac hose etc

I replaced all my breather hoses with the 034motorsport silicone kit from Awesome GTI (manchester).
Think this should be the right one for you:

034 are American so the engine codes aren't the same as the APY/BAM we use here, but that should be the APY kit.
If you need help I'll type up some instructions

I replaced all breather pipes on mine with genuine audi parts off ebay for 30 quid
I then found the breather vacuum pipe was nackered so I again bought the replacement genuine audi part for 8 quid
So 38 quid in total for all new breather pipe kit and breather vacuum pipe all genuine audi and it took me a grand total of an hour to replace and touch wood the cars been fine since ... it was crap on fuel .. engine light was on and it was idling all over the place before.
