993 Turbo vs. 993 N/A Calipers

Just curious if anyone knows if the calipers are the same for the 95' 993 turbo and the 95' 993 naturally aspirated cars. I know the rotors are way different. But everywhere I look shops only have one style of caliper for both vehicles.
Any help would be great, as this will determine if I get the 993's or not (200 dollars per caliper vs. 500 dollars per caliper )

Please 993's, Please 993's, Pleeeeeheeeeheeeeaaaaase...
Thanks a lot,
Russ

The 993 Twin Turbo came with much bigger calipers than the C2 or C4. They are nicknamed Big Reds and fetch a much higher premium as everyone at the track wants to upgrade their Porshce to run these brakes.
The diameter and width of the discs are also bigger.
As to whether you would need such big brakes on a Bug... unless you're heading for over 400bhp (as the 993TT does and it weighs a lot more!) I'd stick to the normal 4 pots... you won't be disapointed.
