Default RCM induction kit fitment?

looking at picking one of these up, but the installation pictures look like it just dangles there in the bay with no clamp to secure it. Is this how it is or would I need to do any other work, as I thought excess movement can damage the MAF.

Will just the induction kit be needed, (trumpet and filter) or will I need to get any other silicone pipes?

Cheers.

I would also consider this (although rather expensive) if I can be sure it'll fit on top of the FMIC pipe (when I get to install it!)
The instructions on the RCM site make no mention of any support bracket and say to use the original angled, convoluted flexi tube although there is a picture of it installed with an angled silicon tube. Without support there is a stress on the induction tube to the turbo? Easy enough to make up a simple support bracket but there should be some reference to this.

It is extremely light and sits there fine with no support.

Is that using the original pipework or an uprated silicone pipe?

There was a HKS induction kit on mine before so I used that pipe work.
