Anyone know if there is a way to mount the Macan Tubo calipers onto a B8 A4, A5, Q5 chassis?
For what I can see its either you need a caliper bracket or to swap the whole Macan steering knuckle hum onto the B8.
Not sure why they changed the caliper mounting front the standard Macan to the Turbo models?
At the moment I can not find anyone who makes a caliper bracket to fit the Macan turbo calipers.
Anyone got any ideas?

I don't know anything about the B8 or the Macan, but the following may be helpful:

The adapter brackets that people use for mounting calipers to different knuckles are extremely cheap and easy to make (literally just a piece of sheet metal with holes drilled in it). If there aren't any aftermarket options on the market, I would recommend finding a machine shop in your area that you like. I'm sure you will be able to get something made for a reasonable price.

Depending on how handy you are, you could mock something up yourself using MDF or whatever, and then just have the machine shop "copy" it.

I ones saw a post on a guy who done a full complete Macan S hub swap. I can seem to find the post.
If its just a matter of swapping the knuckle over then I’m can just go to a wrecker and scrap one off
