Default Thanks! answers inside...

The brakes are only A8 rotors with TT carriers and Ferodo pads. They are enough for now...but I am thinking about building a kit using some Porsche 996 calipers and a factory large rotor.

The appeal to the factory rotors is that they are relatively inexpensive in comparison to nicer two-piece rotors. By spring-time, the car will have some larger brakes for sure. It will also have a larger master cylinder before the next track day - that's my biggest complaint about the system at the moment.

Default Thanks. I am expecting to see ~330whp. So not a lot in comparison to others on here...

but enough to get anybody in trouble. It is very responsive down low. I was hitting 32psi (before i cleaned up the boost control) at 3300rpm...
so we are already building pressure by 2500rpm with this engine.

With the larger master cylinder are you trying to stiffen up the brake pedal?
