Default boost leak fixed/ new plugs

well i finally found my boost leak today but it took some work, had to take off my bumper and the lower shield under the car so i could get to the vac hose that comes off the bottom of the turbo and goes to the intake manifold. it had a rip in it , so i replaced that and also got new plugs (denso iridum). after driving it i realize that my car has never run better since ive owned it

How difficult would it be for a very inexperienced person to do that? (99 1.8T)

The stock bumper is removed with about 6 screws and two bolts.
