The 5000 non-turbo's used G54 single piston calipers, same as the 4000Q, 
Scirocco 16V, and QSW, perhaps others. Standard rotor setup. Not exactly a 
problem prone brake system, IME.

The Turbos used G60 dual piston calipers, same as a lot of our V8's and 200 
20V's have had installed on them. Also use a conventional brake rotor.
