If I remember right, the line is for your oil feed. just pull the line and replace the crush washers. You can leave the turbo in the car and just pull the manifold off. Id recommend a Copper gasket.

the line is metal and i cant move it the nut hits the line and i cant get the nut off to take off the manifold...

its either the oil feed line or water return line. the oil feed you undo from the head and move out of the way. the water line has a rubber portion that you undo and then are able to free the manifold
