Most CIA's increase the CFM at the cost of PSI.  Swap back and then see if you regain the torque.

Most just leave the Evap where it is.  If you want a DIY, then the best place to check is to do a search on google for land rovers.  It's not going to be an exact guide but they do make some nice looking custom ones.

I've seen some really ugly ones made by Jeepers...

Keep in mind that the snorkel is only the tip of the iceberg.  If you actually want to be able to ford water that deep, you need to do a A LOT more.
