what alot of guys do about the water lines is just cover them in the DEI silver thermal wraps that you can get at Auto Zone or Advance.

If you have to extend them there just for the heater core under the dash not really any pressure. Jut go to a auto parts store and get some more hose and make some longer ones so they clear.

Thats strange tho they should clear, they might sit on the pipe a little bit but should be alright

The one heater hose has clamps on both ends, so I just take it off and make a new one that can swoop out and around the turbo, by the over flow tank. The other one has molded ends so I cut it and use some 5/8 hose splices you can get from any parts store to lengthen it to match the other one. As for the air cleaner stuff, I think Autozone sells some Spectra stuff that you can use to adapt your stock air box to the 4" turbo inlet. I would start there.

You can kinda see the heater hoses routing in this pic.
