I don't think you'll find any mention of it on the logbook as it was an after market upgrade, but it should have come with a certificate when fitted by the dealer , but I guiess over the years this could have been lost. If I remember correctly part of the upgrade was a new 'highflow' intercooler hose which was a different colour (red or blue or something), this coupled with the part decat and back box may help to indentify a PPP car . I'm sure someone else will come along to confirm this (or shoot it down in flames )

If you could find a friendly Subaru garage they may have it on their system somewhere
