Re: Big brakes (11") on MKI scirocco 944 m/c?
I believe the ~18mm MC was only used on non-vacuum boosted cars i.e. some low level Rabbits.
Non-16V Sciroccos (9.4" front rotors) had 20.6mm MC's.
If you go to 16V 10.1" front rotors it's smart to go to the 22mm MC. The popular option in this case
is to use the G60 Corrado MC since it's cheaper than the 16V Scirocco MC.
If you go to Corrado 11" front rotors you'd probably want a bigger MC than 22mm.
Kirsten used a 25.4mm MC on her MK I with 11" rotors. It was from an Audi although I'm not positive
which one. http://www.funksoulkitty.org/shockypage/6parts/parts.html towards the bottom of the page.
The 87 Audi 5000 Turbo PN 447 611 021 uses one and that is the car her front dual piston calipers
came from.
Audi 80/90/200 also used a 25.4 mm MC. PN 441 611 021A
The 25.4 MC bolted right up to a later style Scirocco booster. I'm not positive, but it might have
fit on her original booster.

IIRC they use the MC from the Corado. An increase from 18mm to 22mm.

Hello everyone,
How's it going? I've been asked by the guy who bought
my MKI (and is installing a turbo 16v) what to use for
a master cylinder to run big brakes on the MKI. I
know you can use the 16v stuff, but I also remeber
that someone used a master cyl from some model of 944
with the stock booster & pump.
Anyone have a p/n or info on this?? I tried the
search on .org, but came up with nothing.
Thanks,
Tony
