Yep, you'll need both an upper inlet gasket and a throttle body gasket and from that you should be able to work it out.

Bear in mind that you'll need to angle the throttle body too, so that it points more towards the airbox - I'd guess at about 25-30 degrees? You'll also need some strengthening welded into the powerbox for the bolts holes, so you can't crush the powerbox when you do the bolts up and also to ensure that the air can't leak from around the bolt holes at all.
