I suggest you to remove the intake when you want to remove the braided line from the turbo, with the intake off you can push with your finger on the fitting by the inside of the turbo intlet while you pull it out with your other hand...

DO NOT cut the line!!! He exchanges you with one that already has it attached and you will then be sending him a ruined one. Don't do that.. Just disconnect it from the intake, very easy. Then remove the 1 bolt attaching the other to the turbo and pull it off. Very simple..

Try going and looking at it
