Personally I would not risk my brakes being degraded with a smaller master cylinder to put more power down.

I suggest modifying your exhaust manifold. either pull it closer to your head or pushing it further forward. change the mating for your turbo (machining the flange for the turbo to "tilt" to see if that gives you more room.

if Push comes to shove make a new manifold.
