What is the differance from brakes on a Turbo and a na? I plan to, probably a year or more down the road do a swap. But I need new brakes now. Could I go ahead and have the same brake setup a turbo has now? Before I do the swap? and what would I need, other than pads?

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.
