A lot of customization work needs to go in to make it fit. The problem is with the struts or uprights which lift the spoiler. There's no room in a normal 911 for this. Either the spoiler has to be permanently in the "open" position or you have to do modifications in the engine bay to make it all fit.

I remember seeing a thread on this with photos on how someone did it. The airbox had to go among other things.

Alternatively, there are replica wings you can buy which don't open and don't have the struts.

I've tried and the metal piece right below the rear glass fore of the decklid is different size between the turbo and the C4s. Are you sure you have the OEM wing? ;-)

Maybe this is one of the differences between US spec and RoW. Also, you have a rear wiper, which I do not.
