i think the WRX's have bigger turbos and run slightly more BHP (upto 270) -- but again there are power differences between wagon and saloon on the JDM's (i think)

the UK turbo had two types of engine - phase 1 and phase 2 -- the change over was around 1998/9

phase 2 had an increase in torque and power went from 215 to 225 (approx) and I think the phase 2 is regarded as a better engine (stronger block better heads etc) but I could be wrong

brakes also better on 98/99 year -- 4 pots as standard
