I am perplexed how to remove this thing, specifically at the sensor that is located right before the turbo inlet. Thanks.

 

I had a diffcult time removing these hoses also. I don't know if they melt a little, causing it to stick or if they use some sort of adhesive at the factroy. But after looseing the hose clamp completely, ended up useing a small flat head screw driver and shoved it inbetween the hose and the pipe. I did this a 5-6 times working my way around the pipe as much as possible. Then managed to wiggle the hose off.

 

Also, the FMIC was tough to remove as well, it seems some oil pools at the cold side pipe where it connects to the IC
