From garret's site I think it's p/n 703522-6004, supports 785hp and weighs 19.8lbs. Add some endtanks and I'm sure it'll be closer to 25. Or its the PTE core 051-1132 same specs and supports 975hp.

Either way it is a nice upgrade and will put concerns about the other intercooler to rest.

supports 975hp.


Sounds like a very practical spring dyno day goal to aim for. :spin:

Usually you want a core that is rated for 50-100% more power than what you actually plan on making at the wheels, if you want it to not be a flow restriction and actually cool worth a crap. I have never had a car in with too big of an intercooler, but see cars with too small every other day.

^Word, hence my old car having a core rated to 750whp and me making 450ish at most.

Solid advice I have always taken to heart!

meh. I'll suffer with the Perrin. It's 930, whatever hp that works out to.

Forgot to ask--did you have appreciable wear on your six puck disk already? I was a little surprised to hear that you're replacing it.
