I used this to the TB, never mind what the picture says. The tube is 80mm.

I used the end of my stock air pipping and that has the same O/D as the TB, but it is very thin, so I ordered in these, using 2 of them to strengthen the end of the pipping. One of them you will have to sand down a bit (put it in first), then the other one goes right on top of it and seals perfectly to the stock pipping. I also have the plastic welder that TRK mentioned and bonded them to the pipping.

Plastic Welder, man this thing comes in handy.

I got the same one from Harbor Freight. If you have a Harbor Freight I would get it from there. They are not of the best quality and if it breaks, just take it back for an exchange.

I also used this to go from the stock MAF housing to the stock pipping, but since you're using the stock air box, you may want to use a 90° coupler there.

and I also used a 75mm honeycomb air straightener at the MAF housing so the MAF sensor gets a better reading.

I molded my stock MAF housing into the 987 MAF housing. This keeps the car from running lean and when I'm ready to open up to the 987 MAF housing size, I just unclip the stock MAF house and clip in the 987 MAF housing.

That will wait until I have my exhaust mods done, then I go get a tune done on her.
