It looks like the actuator hose, on my car they run above the big water pipe going into the turbo. It looks like the metal hose clips have been sat on the compressor housing transferring the heat into the pipe.

I would get some replacements from a breakers, swap them and keep an eye on it from there. Be aware that the small pipe to the RHS of the T piece contains a brass restrictor.

The small pipes connect between the pressure side of the turbo, the wastegate actuator and the boost control solenoid. All they do is carry pressurised air.
The melted pipes sit above the inlet side of the turbo, so shouldn't be getting too hot - the melting looks to be very localised though, and i noticed that the underside of the coolant pipe looks very slightly melted too ?
