I want to know more about my 2006 WRX wagon!

Ok so i know the basics about my car but alot of stuff i am haveing trouble researching or finding on google. Plus alot of things cover it totally contradict themselves. Some things i have heard may be rumor and some may not. thats what ui am trying to figure out. And alot of the things i wanna know or the smaller details of the car. I have a 2006 WRX WRB wagon. Mods: SPT intake and SPT exhaust

I am not trying to noob it up I am just getting more into the nitty gritty of my car and wanna learn as much as i can.

What I want to know i guess:


I know my motor is a 2.5L. But how is my engine more or less similar to the STI and more or less different than the 2.0 in the 2002-2005 WRX. Is it bored out bigger, bigger block. What is the difference (wrxisbest you smartass). I wanna know what makes it bigger.

Why is my intercooler so much smaller than the 2.0 intercooler.

What turbo is in my car right now. I know the STI has vf39 but what do the wrx have

Who makes the red brake calipers that are on my car.

The 2006 suspension is a stiffer suspension compared to previous years. Something about Subaru winning something rally championship so they put such-in-such suspension. I dunno thats why i am asking

What the wieght difference between sedan and wagon?

I have 230 bhp but what do i have as far a whp? Saying that it is completely stock.

I will post more questions as i think of them but i think that is a good start.
