tbh,the question is madness,it is just impossible to answer,why not try explaining a little more in detail as to what you are actually asking?

ok, its a 97 wrx and it has the sti tuned stickers here and there, so what has been done (as in tuned) over the standard wrx,
its supposed to be 276 bhp, i know it has yellow injectors, but what else.

hope that helps, lol

it would be worth having a look and see what exhaust system you have,and what turbo is fitted.
that would be a starting point,has it been remapped?

I think the OP is presuming that the 'tuned by STi' stickers mean that the modifications are factory fitted ones and is trying to find out what are the differences between a standard WRX and a 'tuned by STI' version ?

I am guessing that the stickers have been added by a previous owner, unless of course it is an 'actual' STi !

Someone on here should be able to tell you what the car actually is from the model code on the chassis plate ?

Get your applied model code off your passenger strut vin plate and it will be easy to tell you what you have.
