when removing the brake booster to get to the master cylinder on the turbo models do i have to bleed the brakes because i unscrewed the hardlines? Was it also safe to use a penetrator to get the nuts loose?

I wouldnt remove the booster. It can be done without removing it.

Yes you can use penetrator to loosen the lines. And yes if you do remove the booster you have to bleed the brakes.

i opened one of the lines slightly like a drop of oil came out do you think air got into the system? i tightened right away once i saw oil come out.

yes, as soon as the line is opened air can be introduced into system.
