IIRC, Graydon Stucky used to make some up and sell them to q-listers.
Not sure if he still does or not though but worth a try. You should be
able to get an email or site link from the archives or from someone here
how is still in touch with him. (I checked on Scott Mockry's site for a
link but didn't find one and gave up.)

I do know this, you will need a crowsfoot "socket" (preferably a
flarenut variety) to get that line off the bottom of the turbo. The hose
itself is easy to replace once you remove the line but it is some kind
of fancy co-extruded hard line with rubber/cloth protective shell, not
just a rubber hose.
