Turbo brakes on N/A car. Possible? 200 1982

I have an '82 245DL that will need new rotors and pads on the front soon, and I'm wondering how easy (or difficult) it is to switch to the vented brakes from a 240 Turbo. Were the Turbo strut housings and stub axles the same as the NA cars? Are Turbo rear brakes the same? Master cylinder? What suspension and brake parts were stronger/better on the turbo cars? I have access to a Turbo parts car and would like to improve the handling/braking of my DL. Any info would be much appreciated!
