time for a mechanic
 
So I tried fixing my coolant leak to no avail. Heater hose repaired, something else still spewing coolant all over the intake manifold, and rear right of engine bay when the revs get above 6000 or so. It's not just a small amount either, coolant is dripping off just about everywhere from just below the throttle body. Just to make the problem more fun, the car won't idle now either, why can't it just run like it was a week ago. Any suggestions?

Did you check the two small hoses that run from/to the throttle body. One goes from the back of the water pump, then up to the throttle body. The second goes from the back side of the throttle body, back down underneath the throttle body to the rear plate on the engine. It has to be these or the heater hoses as they are the only source of coolant in the region that you are taking about. Can you see where the coolant is coming from when you rev the engine?
