Thanks for the responses guys. As mentioned above; the intake does need to be removed to replace the hard line. I wasn't feeling that ambitious, so I cut the old line to get it out. Then I removed the turbo end of the hard line from the crimp and cut the supply side about 3" from the banjo. I then used 3/8" ID weatherhead hydraulic hose (good for 300+ psi) and high quality clamps for the refit. Drip free so far. I could have used stainless jacketed line but it's tough to deal with. The weatherhead hose, which is available from NAPA stores, has an abrasion resistant cloth jacket. I've used this to replace various other hoses / lines in my engine compartment and it holds up great.
