Masters are the same. The bore size is same for both, you could upgrade your bore size with a 929 master but that will just make your pedal feel like a piece of ****...don't even bother.

I think the turbo has a bigger fluid reservoir.

Bot no, you will be fine.

Actually, I think the M/C bore in the 4-piston unit is about 1.5mm larger than the base model cylinder.

It doesn't seem to matter much in real-world use though, so most people don't bother swapping the M/C when they do the conversion.

what would the difference in bore size do for braking. does it change braking bias, more pressure, because this isn't a street car its a track car
