Can someone identify this orange hose?

Is that the Supply oil line?

I guess the one above is the return/drain hose.

I can't see the pic. The orange coolant hose is the supply line. It comes from the base of the block. The base of the block is higher pressure, and cooler than the intake manifold crossover where the other turbo coolant hose goes to.

Turbo oil "supply" line is a -4 braided SS line about 5 feet long. It routes around the rear of the engine to the port directly above the oil filter.

The line you have outlined, is the Oil drain line so the black tube coming from the bottom of the Turbo moves oil back down through that line into the oil pan.

Remove your passenger side wheel and inner fender well for easier access. I've done it twice and it helps for sure. just a bit of advice;)

FYI, replacing that oil line is a huge PITA.

To take it off, I first used a small flat screw driver to get in that band clamp and twist and twist until I was able to get a bigger screw driver to twist and twist until it broke off (x2).

Then use a razor blade/box cutter to cut the hose. Again, huge PITA. Had to get that sucker off.

To get the NEW hose on there (bought from SportsMachine), lubricate the oil line pipe w/some ATF and shove the hose (along w/loose hose clamps) up that oil line pipe. Then shove it back down onto the other end/fitting.

Uggh...
