Try searching, been done loads of times.
You need near calipers, discs, pads, and I believe caliper mounting brackets.

Oh, and bigger wheels if you've still got the standard 14" alloys :)

And from memory, the rear pads are the same across all revisions.

And there's no difference (year for year) between turbo & NA brakes.

You will need to bend the brake disc backplates out of the way, this can be done by hand.
