Will this Acuity Intake fit with the HKS SSQV?

May have to use the FK8 SSQV kit since its componenets are on the opposite side of the FL5 kit. I know at least one person that used the FK8 kit on their FL5 before HKS even released a FL5 SSQV kt.

Will this fit a factory turbo with that routing?

Interesting...Here is a YouTube video clip of a 01 January 2024 podcast:



One comment from Acuity at the time stated:

"...we continue development over the next year or so "​

My guess...Acuity is using their existing 6" to 3.5" Velocity Stack to smooth intake airflow prior to sensing by the MAF, existing 6" filter, along with a custom housing and piping to reduce potential water ingestion in rain situations.

I really like the intent and design. Reminds me of this other old and awesome thread from @Gambit.

If/when Acuity releases this right side intake, I would hope that they also consider offering a turbo coolant line to relocate the OEM hard pipe that also runs over the turbo area. Similar to the AirTec Motorsports Turbo Radiator but without the radiator itself. Link to the install guide with PICs.

Kill two birds with one stone. Reduce thermal transfer from the turbo assembly to both the intake track as well as the turbo coolant line.

Thanks! I’m still running this intake and nothing much has changed from previous update. Definitely hope Acuity brings it out at a competitive price point. Otherwise hope people can just get out and make one.
