You can use the 10.1" Scirocco 16V brakes in front.

Also, can I put a 16v Scirocco master

Should work ok on most cars produced in Germany produced starting
in Jan '84.

>What other changes might I have to make?

You can get by without the 16V master cyl if you have the 10.1" brakes
in the front and still have the rear drums but if you have the rear discs
as well you'll need it for sure. It's nice to have with just the 10.1" in front
though.
