Set out today to do some chores on the D2 as well as install the airbox, purchased a 3.5 to 3.5" 90 degree bend from supercheap to go from the airbox to the fixture on the engine bay side to inner panel, the smaller one they had was actually a good size.

So out with all the bits and pieces and started to go about where it would fit, then realized that I left the lid at home so could not place it accurately for height which I want as much as possible to straighten out the intercooler to turbo piping as much as possible.

Did consider to fit and drive home without the lid but that even for me would have been reasonably stupid!

There is plenty of room around the airbox and the underfitting would not be a difficult job especially if you have a sheet metal bender as my BIL does. The fitting does not need to be as extensive I thought but the rise in the engine is higher than I thought. It almost sat in perfectly and the multitude of attachments that came with it could have been utilised to mount it.

The box can easily be positioned to take the 90 degree bend up to the fitting on the side panel and with the silicon 3.5" wrapping nicely around the plastic, this was pretty much a no brainer.

So as I am away tomorrow up the VHC decided that we would do this in the next couple of weeks and more so the 4" snorkel is not going to nearly as difficult as the BIL thought, and the thought was we were going to come it at 45 degrees to the engine bay and maybe not 90. That said, if you had a safari snorkel and you are happy as Kaaaiju showed the fitting of this to it is maybe the simplest upgrade you would ever undertake for anyone looking at an airbox upgrade, this unless something amazingly unforeseen happens, I would recommend as the way to go.
