I did mine in the past month. Wasn't too hard but the engine bay is sooooo tight... I had some trouble getting mine loose once I got the bolts and wires unfastened. Had to bang on it for a few minutes and rock it back and forth (I actually got a blister from grabbing it and rocking it side to side. It took 4 hands to get it out once loose, to move tubes and wires etc. out of the way.

Check this thread, page 4 bottom (Arrow B) for a photo. Remove the airbox/ filter, MAF etc. first. It is basically directly beneath the TB. Round, with 2 up facing bolts to remove, and then wires facing driver's side.

Good luck!
