The brakes are an easy swap, as the others have mentioned. I needed pads, rotors, flex hoses and calipers, so I just bought a set of rebuilt calipers w/pads, new SS flex lines, and a set of the vented ATE Powerdiscs. With the exception of a few broken hardline fittings, the job went pretty smooth, and the increased fade resistance is noticeable.

Turbos were remarkably similar to the base NA car (because its a damn good car to begin with!) The braking components, other than the vented rotor/caliper pieces, are identical, as are hubs, springs, etc... Turbos had Boge Turbogas shocks, but pulling used units is NOT worth the effort. The clutch is the only other item that comes to mind as being a stronger piece in the Turbos, but you don't need it. If you can find the Turbo alloys, they are 15" X 6" and of nice design and quality. Turbos also had the auxillary gauge package you might want to snag. Definitely grab the sway bars, though, they are thicker - 23mm/21mm, compared to your (probably) 21mm/no bar combo.
