I bought a used MSD Intake, and I noticed that I'm missing the TB seal plate and gasket - figure 14 below in the instructions. If I'm installing a 95mm tb, do I need this?

Also, the intake is 4-5 years old, and I'm considering replacing the orings and perimeter gaskets. The current gasket is the black one and I would replace it and add gasket seal around the areas that are known to have issues.

Any thoughts on whether I should do this? My old MSD had some leaking problems from when they 1st came out in 2016/2017.

No, you not need the metal plate or paper gasket for your 95, as they are just intended for mounting a stock (87) throttle onto the large opening of the MSD. Metal plate would go onto the MSD o-ring and the paper gasket would then seal the throttle to the plate when mounting an 87. With a 95 though, you can just mount the throttle right onto the o-ring on the front of the MSD, like you'd mount a 103. I have done this, put a 95 directly onto an MSD, and ran the car for a few years like that.

+1 Vince . My car ran fine with the MSD + 95 TB straight on. Later I did add a Soler Performance 95-103mm adaptor to smooth out the laminar flow- not a likely concern for most folks- lol. Even after a canned tune (via a Bully Dog/BDX tuner to provide a bit more fuel), the car continues to run very well.
You can pick up a full set of gaskets for the individual intake ports at Amazon-
