@threedogs, I had one similar to this fitted to my GU CRD. Did work well, good for 200hp, but do not like the way the inlet flow is directed at 90° to the centre of the filter side face. Restriction point here and crap collects at this concentration point. Guess the box you are looking at is direct bolt in and has 3" inlet / outlet.
Other options available, do you have stock induction MAF/pipework from airbox to turbo and guess you have 3" Safari snorkel? Can make other suggestion but up to you mate.

@Bidja I have this made up ready to fit, you can buy
VW Maf housings which are bigger in diameter.
Then again its only a 3ltr how fast can it go. It chugs
along pretty good as it is running 16psi.

Thinking of buying a stainless steel hi flow air filter housing from PatrolaPart
@Winnie would I notice any difference. Im thinking being stainless it might trap heat
and introduce warm air into the intake. anyone??
Oh and how hard are they to fit, I hear you need to move the Aux battery
If it's the patrol docta one then the only difference you would recognise would be negative... They force the air into one small area of the filter so it does not flow though the box at all.
@threedogs Yep will work well and the stock MAF flanged pipe section (3") could have flange removed and coupled up to airbox outlet. Pic of what I had with round A/B (Fabwitz Industries) and what I have now(preferred_with 9" K&N pod) and now breaths so well. Few other CRD upgrades (130 rwkw/520N-m @ 26psi).
Guess you will use 90 degree bend from snorkel to airbox thru inner guard.
Also, In both my builds, there was no need to move auxiliary battery.
@threedogs Worth checking this out mate_good flow. I currently use this airbox ($365 posted) that uses a K&N 9" pod filter_KNRE-0870 (approx $100).
Box comes in two lengths 300mm (ZD) and 340mm (TD42), I use the TD box but needed to cut 15mm off the GU radiator shroud. Does them with 4 or 3 inch dia ends. ZD box just drops straight in.
They have good clearance (30 & 50mm respectively) from the box inlet end face to the base of the pod filter and this provides for very good air distribution around entire filter element.
A boiler maker on FB ZD Warriors makes them and are good quality. Uses nutserts in body to secure see thru lid.
Bought a Chinese made power window switch six weeks ago and it finally arrived. 6 bux landed! What could go wrong? I fit it. I test the switch. It works. Then I test it again using the master switch. Pull up on the master switch, and the window goes down, push down on the switch and the window goes up. Hmm...

Not made for the land down under
If it were in China it would work ok

IMO the airbox is of good design. As I mentioned earlier your duct assy from airbox to turbo would fit up well. Only need 3" x 90° bend to connect up to A/box and possible adjust for length.
If you did not want to open up entry thru inner guard panel, the A/box can be supplied with 3" spigots. I know of a TD42 (4" inlet/outlet), same as mine for sale never used about $100 savings. But 3" (inlet/outlet) might be easier and suit you. Check out:
