Default Possible Prodrive?

I bought the Impreza WRX (blob) back in 2011.
It was sold to me by a garage as an Impreza WRX Prodrive.
I'm clueless with this. It had a prodrive exhaust on, which I have has removed. Under the engine I can see a blue pipe with Prodrive written on. What other things should I be looking for? Nothing in with the logbook, and no tag under the bonnet.
Sorry for being so vague, that's all I've got! Cheers

Sounds like it's fitted with PPP - Prodrive Performance Pack.

Ideally you should have a certificate with the chassis number on there from Prodrive, cardboard and A5 in size.

Have a good look through your bookpack, as I guess it could get missed.
Usually used as a selling point and proof of PPP though, a vital part of the paperwork.

The other thing is a Prodrive ECU which can be found under the passenger footwell underneath the carpet. You'll see (I think) a drilled footplate under the carpet, and I'm pretty sure the ECU lives under there.

The blue pipe is the turbo / intercooler Y pipe, these don't get fitted to STi's as part of PPP, but do to WRX's.

Possible uprated fuel pump aswell, but not certain.

There should be a certificate too , otherwise you can ask Subaru UK or Prodrive to confirm (and send you a new certificate if its been lost). Dont think there is anything else visible to prove other than what you mentioned.

It may be a label of the chassis number on the certificate, but more than likely hand written, hope you find it!

Had no luck there so I've emailed Prodrive. Hopefully they will get back to me.
