JDM ST205 GT-4 WRC model, what exactly made this model different? Options

Just a quick question but i'm curious as to what exactly was the difference between the regular GT-4 and the limitied edition WRC model for the 6th gen. All that i'm aware of in difference was that they had the tall spoiler and appox. 2100 were made... Water to air intercooler like the 185 RC? Anything else?

Production of the All-Trac, or GT-Four as it was known outside the US, continued for the Japanese, Australian, European, and British markets. This version was to be the most powerful Celica produced to date, producing between 240-250 hp from an updated 3S-GTE engine. Influenced strongly by Team Toyota Europe, Toyota's factory team in the World Rally Championship, the final version of the GT-Four included improvements such as an all aluminum hood to save weight, four-channel ABS, an improved CT20B turbocharger, and Super Strut Suspension. The 2500 homologation cars built to allow Toyota to enter the GT-Four as a Group A car in the World Rally Championship also sported extras such as all of the plumbing required to activate an anti-lag system, a water spray bar for the front Intercooler and an extender spoiler mounted on risers. The car proved to be quite competitive in the 1995 World Championship. However, the team was banned from competition for a year after the car's single victory due to turbocharger irregularities.

turbocharger irregularities.

I like how the Toyota engineers were banned for an ingenious idea.
