no, not the same... tt's are bigger than nb and not a bolt on replacement... gt3's, c4s, tt's are the same setup.

Powder coated calipers always look better. It takes a lot of work to get paint to look like this:



Porsche (Brembo) calipers are powder coated. Most caliper paint jobs I've seen - except for Eli's - look like crap compared to powder coated. Buy a used set from LA Dismantler. Simple swap. You'll still want to rebuild them though - for peace of mind. So, you might as well use your own. They are very easy to break down and rebuild. Depending on the powder coater, your car would be down just a couple of days. Your brakes would ostensibly be brand new.
