Unhappy DIY kit clearance issue with coolant hose

I've been piecing together my own kit recently and I'm finally throwing everything together. So far my biggest problem is the turbo (bottom mount) not clearing the middle hose in the picture. I'm not 100% sure it'll clear if I remove the hose and put it back after install. If it doesn't clear is there any way to re-route or add a longer hose? Car is a 94 and I couldn't tell you which manifold have but I'll add a picture of it resting in the engine bay too, maybe someone can identify it. I'm still very new to turbo stuff so anything helps

You mean the heater hose? Take that metal pipe off, I like to torch it to get it hot, put it in a vice, and slowly bend it for more clearance.

I put a long socket (to keep it circular) with an extension in mine and gently bent it out of the way
