The standard intake pipe that fits over the 68mm TB won't fit over the 75mm TB so you will need to get creative.

Edit - not only that but when you mate to the 996 plenum T the shapes are different so the TB points in the wrong way to use the standard intake piping.

Correct, however the OD of the part that goes over the TB is 80mm which is the same size as the OD of the 76mm TB. So you just have to use a 80mm ID silicone tube to connect them. I've also reenforced the thin wall of the stock pipe.

To your edit. I'm using a 997 Distribution T and yes they do not mach up. That is where you use a 90° 80mm silicone tube.
