What you need to do a turbo brake swap minimally is:
  • calipers/brackets
  • rotors
  • pads

Strongly encouraged to also get:
  • brake master cylinder
  • turbo brake proportioning valve

Not so important:
  • turbo brake dust shields
  • turbo vacuum booster

You're not going to see much difference between turbo and NA brakes in a daily driver unless you're driving too hard for public streets. If you're using the car on the track where heat becomes an issue then using a high quality brake pad, DOT4 brake fluid and stainless steel lines is also a pretty good idea.
