Engines are the same as in any other MY99 UK car, the WR sport version has the prodrive performance pack fitted, quoted at 237bhp on unleaded fuel or 250bhp on super unleaded, and 215bhp is standard 
You could also try the rb5 owners club
just google it

Probably 10bhp up on the 215 but you never know, the exhaust is pretty restrictive and the ecu has to start learning again, you wont get that much more out of it 
plus you get better torque with the PPP It is quite a noticable difference, I use to run my MY00 turbo on super and then had the PPP fitted, wrote a little bit on it back in 2001, the drivability is quite different
