I don't have much advice for you, but I wanted to comment on my *non* AWD turbo line replacement. You can lose a significant amount of oil with this leak, during driving, which I think you have experienced. It blows all over the side of the pan in that area, and as I recall you see several drips off the bottom of the frame shortly after stopping the car. However, you only get a 1" spot of oil after a day.

I used a couple of concrete blocks and 2x8s on each side, and had just enough room to get where I needed to. It is right in the center of the car, as you are aware.

Looking at the pictures and reading the text at the link you provided makes the AWD look significantly more difficult to work get to.

Don't that sway you. The directions are there. I'm sure it is doable, and you will remember it for a long time. You will do some work "blind" by feel. If it were I, I would try to find a way to safely get the car 6-8" higher than a ramp, but that is just me. Good luck.
