Brake line interference

I just finished installing my turbo and noticed that a corner of the exhasut manifold flange is touching one of my rigid brake lines. Is this something to be worried about (heating up the brake fluid, damaging the line etc) or is this okay?

Thanks

Mine is close. Anything can get hurt if it gets hot enough, you might want to see if you can't bend it slightly away. Those metal brake lines will bend slightly with the right amount of force.

you'll want to tweak the brake line so it doesnt touch.

Definitely make sure there is clearance. You don't want to damage the brake line, and even worse, you don't want to boil your brake fluid. There is nothing worse than a soft pedal when you really need them.
