IIRC, you can't.  You will need the newer style booster from an 85-up
'rocco.  For MCs, you can use the stock 22MM 16v (P/N 533611019), a 22.2MM
Corrado G60/A3 chassis one (P/N 357611019B), or the l33t 25mm Audi
Quattro Coupe one. (P/N 441611021a)

If you use 9.4" front rotors, you need #533612151
If you use 10.1" front rotors, you need  #533612151A
