The problem with oil cooler lines is that the oil cooler is made of
aluminium and the line fittings are steel. What happens is that
electrochemical corrosion causes them to became virtually welded together.
Turbocharger is made of steel (or is it cast iron? whatever), as are the
line fittings. It is usually possible the remove the turbo lines without
much effort.
