get the on with aas because it has an extra fitting on it compared to the one without aas
but just to make sure try to find a picture of the parts and see for yourself

Likely the only difference between the 2 is the sensor. But the correct MC for your car is the one with AAS. Why would you bother buying another one that isn't correct for your car. From my research about a year ago pretty well all MC (turbo/abs/aas/regular) are all within a few dollars of each other. Why not just get the right one?

I will tell you, from my experience, that it can be done, but its not worth the effort. I just bought a master cylinder that I thought was the right one (no ABS, no AAS), but was actually the wrong one (with AAS). It was not cost or time effective for me to ship it back and wait for a replacement. So I got a small bearing and dropped it into the hole for the sensor (fit perfectly into the smaller hole), and packed in this stuff I had called Qwik-Weld (like JB weld but like a dough, and a 1 hour cure time). I thought all was well and installed it and drove the car. About a half hour down the road I lost brake pressure. I pulled over and the master had fluid dripping out the bottom. Turns out that the brake fluid completely dissolved the qwick-weld. So I drove it back to the garage, and removed everything again. This time I dropped a larger ball bearing in and welded around that, then I kept piling more weld on until it filled it and ground it flush. Not worth it at all, but if thats all you have, then it can be made to work.
