Message	on my NA - not too difficult for a non mechanic, HOWEVER once you start you will realize that pcv, aiv and vacuum hoses will be cut just to get them off, and need replacing, fuel lines should be replaced and the fuel line clamps, electrical connectors will probably break and need replacing, and there are quite a few things that should be done if you're going to the trouble of puling the plenum (injectors probably, valve cover gaskets etc etc). Since all you want to do is fix the coolant leak, I wonder if it is possible to bypass the TB without removing the plenum at all and just leave the TB coolant lines where they are, but disconnected. There isn't much room back there, but it might be possible to do it...
