I replied to your PM. If you want to use the 996 rails, you don't have to, you need to get an adapter and lengthen the supply line from the passenger side to the drivers side fitting. You will also need to fabricate a longer return line in order to work on the 996 rails. Using the boxster rails is easier, just cut off the mounting tabs and place them on top of the rails to work on the taller 996 intake.

Make sure you take off the 996 exhaust mounts before you put the motor back in.
