Hiya Murt, I was just skimming through my book on Imprezas and found the following info on the V-Limited Model your mate has:
"...the special edition WRX V-Limited was launched to commemorate the success of Subaru and Colin McRae in the WRC series. Going on sale from 1st February 1996, the V-Limited came in two guises: standard 2,555,000 Yen trim (with the normal WRX providing the starting point) or, for 268,000 Yen more, a model based on the Type RA STi for serious enthusiasts.
The 260bhp WRX V-Limited was restricted to 1000 units, with a serial number allocated to each car, printed on an aluminium plaque. Special features included gold-painted STi 5-spoke alloys, ABS brakes, green-tinted glass, and an FIA Approved emblem on the tail (stating that Subaru was 1995 World Rally Champion) with the same roundel carried over to the back of the STi seats (the door trim was revised to suit the black/grey upholstery). This model was available in Sports Blue, Feather White or Mica Black."
Hope that helps/clarifies things
no mention of a bigger turbo for this model. The book is quite comprehensive and am sure it would mention any engine mods.
