I got one with no template - my advice, lots and lots of measuring and start at the air box and work backwards - it's abit fiddly but it does work. :doh:

Did you manage to get the airbox too? Only I know that with mine (300TDI with ABS-type snorkel despite not having ABS) the airbox needed some modification. There was a plug to blank the original intake, a new intake to be siliconed and riveted on, and a spacer piece to be riveted to the front.

Also worth knowing: There are a couple of drain holes in the airbox. If you plan to go deep then these need to be filled with silicone, as otherwise they will let water in!

I know someone who ran a 200TDI airbox on a 300TDI for exactly the same reason, it never seemed to cause him any trouble. Just make sure everything is properly secured and watertight.

im running a 200tdi snorkel on a 300tdi engine, so i had to change the airbox to a 200 :) use plenty of the sticky stuff and you need a piece of flexi pipe to go from the airbox to the turbo. ive been wading in deep water etc etc and everythings seems perfect :) :) :)so crack on with it matey ;) ;)
