normally when fitting after market intake pipes(under the manifold), you will need to remove the intake manifold or atleast lift it up a little bit. this is because the intake pipe has little nipples on it that my get caught if you rip it out.Its not hard to do if your mechanically minded.With the after market silicone type intake hoses the silcone can stretch over the turbo intake mouth if you apply a little lube then hose clamp it down.You need to be fairly patient when you remove and install the intake pipes because as i have said above you dont want to break the nipples on the side.If your really worried about fitment i would take an measurement of the outside diameter of the turbo inlet and compair it to the inlet side of the after market intake pipe so that your 100% sure it will fit over the turbo snout.

hope this helps a little bit
