I recently did this on the T5. It's similar with some notable differences:
* There's very little room in the engine bay so the snorkel has to come off. I also moved the air filter box but this probably isn't required if you're just doing this job.
* The intake to the throttle body is a big pipe connecting from intercooler. I recommend removing this pipe entirely for space reasons. It's held onto the throttle body with a jubilee clip.
* The throttle body is mounted directly on the intake plenum with 4 torx screws - the top 2 are easy to get at, the bottom ones are not.
Refitting is the reverse but be patient with the bottom 2 torx screws - one is a particular #%&@##! It was at this point I removed the pipe from the intercooler so I could get both hands in there.
