Think the v.3 STi saloon's turbo is a VF23. But the v.3 Wagon STi will run the same turbo anyway, I believe. If not then it'll be the slightly smaller VF24 - not much between them power/torque wise, regardless.
Not sure on that model's ECU code though.
So pretty certain you shouldn't need to do any upgrading...

Yes, that's right - sorry totally overlooked that 
. The ECU will be controlling the wagon's lower boost level, hence 40PS less.
So you would need to swap to the v.3 STi saloon's ECU - so long as they do indeed run the same turbo, that is. If turbo's are different, then you're right, would have to swap both ECU AND turbo...
