I am referring to the three fittings (2 coolant lines) and the one that runs to the sensor on the backside of the valve cover right in the middle of the turbo.
I have soaked them nicely with penetrant but can't seem to find the right size wrench to remove them. Everything I have tried starts to round the fitting and I don't feel like damaging them. What's the best way to get them off?

I have soaked these things in PB blaster and am using flare nut wrenches with no luck. Can't even get them to budge. Just keep rounding the nut.
Is there a trick to getting these off???

I had to use a pair of vise grips to get the fittings out and replace the lines

Heat until glowing orange, then remove.
