Not to thread jack, but, what is the difference between a T2 and a NA master? I have a T2 that has a non abs master along with lines, and I'm wondering if I could just use a Non ABS NA master

To the OP. You need the ABS master as that's the one that came on the car and your lines are set up for it.

To the other poster, most of the N/A master cyclinders seem to have 3 lines comming out of them and the turbo's only have 2. I think (not 100% sure) that there is also an extra plug on the N/A for the AAS system. The easy answer is use the one that is right for your car rather than try to buy another one and make it work.

I converted my TII to non-ABS (using a non-ABS MC) and the MC has 3 lines: one for each of the front calipers and a single line that goes to the rear.

No.
This is the rule for FC turbos...

3 fittings - non-ABS - front right, front left, rears
2 fittings - ABS - fronts, rears

I think the non-turbos are like this too, but I cannot confirm.

So...unless you want to redo all the lines to run a 3-channel for a non-ABS brake master cylinder, I'd suggest sticking with the ABS one for easiest replacement.

I have all non abs lines and a non abs master on my parts car T2 and I'm swapping them over to my good Turbo2. I want to get a new master for it and I'm just not sure which one to get.
