I was able to flex and load the line sightly so as not to touch. Also placed wiring loom over it to be sure.

Mark has you handled but here is a pic to help. That side of the turbo isn't hot, and if you **** the fitting angle slightly upward it won't touch.

That is a stock turbo with the ATS. The 38R comes with a porter housing on it.
