I have a pair of "Turbo Look" calipers from my C2 based America Roadster 911. I did the Rogue tuning and engine runs great. Would like to upgrade to bigger brakes. Anyone know if its possible to use my old 911 "Turbo Look" front calipers on my 1988 944T?

thanks in advance...

Are they axial or radial mount calipers?

Best of my knowledge... the Turbo Look calipers are the same as the generic 'Big Red' calipers, which will work fine with the right adapter.
If you have a Turbo S (radial mount spindle?) they might bolt up directly.... dunno.
The correct disc will be either the 928GTS front (blank disc), or the 993TT (drilled) f disc.
996TT f discs are the wrong offset.
Anyone want to buy a pair?

911 "Big Red" or 928 GTS ("Big Black") front calipers bolt directly to 951S radial mount spindles (you need the longer caliper bolts from the 928 GTS). I have them on my S2.

Correct rotors are the 928 GTS (not drilled) or the 911 C2 3.6 Turbo (drilled). The 993TT rotors with separate hats are the wrong offset, however you can use the discs with aftermarket hats, although when I tried that I got excessive vibration, and went back to the C2 Turbo rotors.

I try to make sure everything I post is accurate... Sorry about that!
My mistake on the 993tt discs. It's those I have a spare set of, if any one would like to take them off my hands.

Post in the other thread mentioned swapping the fluid transfer line and bleeder screws from top to bottom, effectively turning the caliper upside down.
Since the calipers are mounted to the rear of spindle on the 944 instead of the front, like a 911, that's important to keep the piston stagger in the correct orientation to disc rotation.
