You may have mentioned already, but I'm too lazy to read the whole thread again and wondered if you are running a different ECU with your turbo setup?
I thought the mk1 and mk2 calipers were the same, just with different brackets? 1.8 discs are bigger so they will be better, but I'm not sure if they'll be good enough, so I've gone a bit extreme.
The AP conversion isn't MOT friendly (no cable operation), so it's not a good idea on a daily driver.

ECU is stock, remapping is for people with money. AFPR FTW
