   For use on a VTR (no abs) pug 406 23mm 4 post master cylinder
   
   For use on a VTS (with abs) either a gti6 or a 406 coupe with abs, 23mm 2 port master cylinder

   You can get 406 v6 m/c with 2 or 4ports depending on whether you have abs or not!

   have you tried adjusting your brake bar to help the pedal feel?
   
   As my standard gti master cylinder is fine with my wilwood 4 pots.

    Yeh, Try adjusting the pedal, I took out the slack and my Gti 180's feel much sharper on standard mc.

    the brembos have a lot more fluid volume than the wilwoods and gti180 calipers.

    iv got gti 6 calipers and adjusting the brakepedla/bar and putting the 406 master cylinder on has made them alot more positive and me alot more confident in the feel of them!
