Would using an 86T rotor on NA backplate/hub be the way to go if I was going from scratch also?

Oh, for got to ask.. will it still fit under my 15's?

Yes on 86t rotor.

No, you'll need 16s for the 944 turbo setup

If you're sticking with 15s then use the Boxster blacks with 944na rear rotor and carrera front rotor on 944na hub:

Thanks again Lanner

I want to stick with my 15's (Fuch), very interesting info regarding the Boxster callipers, thanks.

Interestingly when I was trawling though the samba I stumbed accros this advert: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifie...php?id=1188283.

Seems to be 944NA hubs rotors with Turbo calipers (advertised as allowing 15" wheels) - I guess it is a bodge?

Yeah that setup doesn't look right. Looks like its a NA rotor (282x20.4mm) with turbo caliper intended for 298x28mm rotor. No beuno to use a 28mm caliper on 20.4mm. You should inquire on the details of the advertised setup.

To fit 15s, you COULD turn down the OD of the turbo rotor to make it fit a 15, but it's a pain since the rotor is not off the shelf and replacement parts will require modification.
