As far as that oil line, if it gives you any reassurance, the turbo can be removed
easily from the car with the engine still in it's home (from what I've witnessed).
Weren't you the one that took the engine out? It'd make sense to note where
things came from when you pulled them out. I'm not implying you don't know
what you're doing, it's just I thought you were the one doing the whole
procedure.
I'll probably be in the same situation though because I'm soon going to tackle a
head gasket replacement by myself.
