It will have the Prodrive ECU, Backbox+centre pipe and intercooler piping AFAIK
And the power will be around the 235bhp mark.
Hope that helps, although someone may be along to correct me....

taken from SIDC site FAQ`s
"Prodrive offer a performance pack for the car, and depending on the model year comprises a Ramair air filter, stainless steel free flow exhaust, revised engine management system and Mintex brake pads (up to MY98). This gives the Impreza about 15% extra power and torque, bringing it up to the 240bhp and 240 lb/ft mark for the pre MY99 cars. This may be fitted by Prodrive without affecting the standard 3 year Subaru warranty. For the MY99 cars onwards, they offer a similarly priced performance pack which adds a revised ECU, exhaust system and intercooler piping. Proven gains of 10 to 15% are offered, with a dramatic improvement in mid range response and urgency.
There are however a number of drawbacks. Firstly, the conversion is not cheap. Secondly, Prodrive will only fit the performance pack to cars with at least 16 inch wheels. For owners of pre '98 cars, this means an additional cost for a set of 16 or 17 inch wheels and tyres. Lastly, once upgraded, pre '97 cars must be run only on Super unleaded fuel. The conversion for the MY97 cars on allow normal unleaded fuel to be used, albeit with reduced performance. There are of course other options.
