on the oil restrictor the nut is 14mm while on the turbo side it is a 12mm, Don't use a regular 12mm or 14mm wrench you will strip the nuts, use a wrench which have a small opening to get it through the line, it is 80% close wrench, it is made for such lines.

If it is still won't come out, use a tourch and heat it up, but don't tourch the **** out of it and don't apply heat for a long period of time.

i didn't know that and i just tried a normal 12mm wrench. it rounded right off. afterwards i tried the 80% closed at you described, and it won't even fit over the fitting. does anyone know the thread size for the turbo and oil restrictor i may be able to have the line made locally.
