Yes, the Empi 36mm single pot rear is very similar to the 944 rear that is also 36mm single pot. Simply transposing the 944 set up into a bug is not the way to go as the 944 is a heavy front engined car that needs a strong front brake bias. Even though it is reasonably balanced front to rear ~50/50 with the rear transaxle, under braking there is a substantial weight transfer, needing all the effort to the front. The bug however, is tail heavy ~37/63 and requires a 50/50 braking bias. Originally the 944 had a 19/19 m/c that gave a front bias of 68.75/31.25 but this was later moderated back to 59/41 with the stepped 23/19 m/c.
To make life simple for you to select your brake package lets assume that the ideal brake bias for the bug is still 50/50 then:
Total Front Piston Area/master cylinder piston area = Total Rear Piston Area/master cylinder piston area.
As previously said, if the rear is larger than the front then that is easy to deal with by incorporating a pressure limiting valve in the rear line.
