Why to you want to switch from NA to turbo brake calipers?
The NA brake calipers provide more than needed braking capacity.
My 1983 944 NA race car with OEM brake calipers provides 0.6 g braking with race tires, and applying threshold braking pressure which could add another 15 to 25 % more g deacceleration.
Save the money and spend it on other upgrades such as NA tune from Lindsey Racing that adds up to 15% more HP for about $700. Call Mike at Lindsey Racing

We are the original owners of the car. To be honest, compared to other cars, the brakes have always sort of just been average. I can’t stand sliding calipers personally.
The car has had a chip since the late 80’s. It made a fairly big difference for sure.
