I also think that you gave no info as to what it's intended to be installed on; power/performance goals etc.
If you're looking for 400hp, DO NOT pay attention to random numbers quoted on an IC ad... Saying an IC can 'flow 400hp' means nothing- MANY IC's can flow 400hp worth of air volume. And there is a lot more than the air volume travelling thru the IC that determines total output.
Can you be more specific?

Sorry, so my car is more of a DD + weekend track car. Running a s15 turbo. I like the Garrett core because of its small size and efficiency. If I am not going with a custom setup, I'd get a greddy or a blitz FMIC. I don't have anything against ISIS or CXRacing, I just don't prefer it. GT2871 is a future upgrade with a power goal of 350whp.
Whether the Garrett core can flow 400hp or not, is not a selling point, I know that many DSM guys, along with Genesis, and other car like this core. I just figured, if I am going to have new pipes made for a blow-through maf, I'd just get a nice core.
I know many things like brand vs cost plays a big role when people buy parts, like my Cusco control arms vs say ISIS (again nothing wrong with them). But for this particular situation, I am aiming for small core size, with good flow and cooling. I may end up just buying a greddy or blitz kit.
Thanks,
