Can anyone explain what this is and where it goes? I'm not used to these engines so I have no idea if it goes to a boost control solenoid or what...
Thanks in advance!

Just throw some duct tape around it.
It goes to the timing vavle for boost control. Easiest fix would be to cut the crimp collar off the banjo bolt, replace the hose then secure it with a couple of hose clamps.

that's called a engine and is a mechanical device that produces some form of output from a given input.

It took me a minute to see what you are talking about. The large nut that the torn line is connected to is called a banjo bolt. It is part of your boost control. You should be able to remove the crimp fitting from the banjo bolt and then just run a new line from the banjo bolt to the new line and secure it with hose clamps

With some effort you can cut that hose off of the banjo fiting and replace it with a new section of hose. Will cost you all of 2 clamps and 8" (give or take) of hose. Total cost involved: $1.42 Cost of not havng a massive leak: Priceless.

Thanks guys!
It has had a lot of engine work done. When I bought the car, the PO showed me about 30 pages in receipts from his PO, who always took it to the same shop in Sarasota, FL. I saw only 2 or 3 receipts for less than $1,000.
So how is this affecting me, other than causing me to leak boost right after the air exits the turbo?

Since the intake air has already been metered at that point, I would guess it's running lean at idle and low-load (when there is vacuum,) and rich on boost. Anyone agree/disagree?

You also have no assistance from the cycling valve to control boost, so it could overboost, but with that huge leak, it may not build enough boost either.
