Talking 10 hp
The turbo is spooled slightly different from what I have read, but for 10 hp this can not be a big change. The EU version does 220-230. So if it has negative impact on turbo we would know from EU cars that have been out for Almost 2 years. Get the PP. Larger brakes and LSD worth it. 10hp is just a little kicker added in.

Does anyone know what size the regular brakes are? Also what are the size of PP brakes?

just because it's on their website does not mean it's on the lot. subaru dealerships around here had a few of the new STIs on their websites well before they were actually there.
to be honest, this is a horrible argument. it's not worth it if you will never use it. i have driven the PP and i own a non-PP and frankly am glad i did not wait/spend the extra money for it. why? because i would never drive the car hard enough to use the extra performance bits. if you live near great mountain roads or will track your car, then yes, it's worth it.

Rears are also vented vs the solid rotor on standard car.

In Australia the PP is as mentioned here. Brakes, Bi-xenons, LSD, LED tail lights.
I've driven one for 2 days whilst they were fixing my GTI and the biggest difference driving them was the amount of traction the PP got from the diff and 19's with P-zero rubber.
I don't think there is any difference with the turbo, it's just a tuning tweak.
Which is shown when you get a tune on either car, they increase power up to the same numbers

The turbo is the same, as is the entire engine mechanics. At least this
is the case on the Euro spec engine with dual injection, but I couldn't
imagine VW/Audi would change anything more than software for a tiny
10 HP difference.
The LSD is the thing I missed most on the Mk.V and Mk.VI GTI by far.

The brakes make a big difference and the clever traction factor makes fwd not too much of an issue. Worth the money.
