I believe people have cut the part down slightly that fits onto the turbo inlet

Thought mine was fine until I came to remove the cone from off the MAF and go back to the airbox, its almost as if the pipe is slightly too short at the airbox side on mine as had to pull it quite firmly to get the pipe on the MAF, holding it in place with one hand while I tightened the jubilee up
