It's the EGR cooler hose. I think it can be done without removing the turbo, but have not done it myself. Lots of threads on it in the 6.0 diesel forum.

Here is a thread with instructions:

The link that bpounds provided also includes the parts list for replacing the hose. Ford dealer will have them instock. But you might want to see what "partsguyed" can do for you. I have found that I paid a bit too much for those parts when I did mine.

And no, the turbo does not need to be removed.

Oh, and that hose takes the coolant from the oil cooler and sends it through the EGR cooler.
