On the NA? It is incredibly easy. Turbo requires the removal of the bumper cover and intercoolers.
Slide the rubber boot back on the electrical connector and disconnect the electrical plug from the coil pack. 2 5mm allen bolts hold on each coil pack. Remove the bolts, pull off the coil pack. Spark plug socket and the right length extension is all you need from there out.
About an hour job.

OH, and you can use just an L key allen, but i cut off a short piece of the allen key and inserted it into a 5mm 1/4" drive socket so i can use my rachet. Breaks the bolts loose a little easier anyways.

You probably have figured it out by now, but 2 10mm (head size) bolts hold on the small heat shields over the coil packs.
