Ok my question is one I haven't seen asked before.

I have a 1992 TSI AWD 6/4 Bolt

So, Im definately going to get the 2 piston calipers.

The hole where the brake line goes into the 2 piston calipers, is it the same as the single piston calipers. I want to buy SS lines but I dont know if they are the same.

Will I have to Fab something or not is basically what im asking.

No, you will not have to fab anything. It is a bolt on thing.

SWEET.

Anyone got any opinions on upgrading the rear calipers? I know I don't need it but is there a significant diffirence if you do the rears aswell?

2G talons use a banjo fitting, and 1G use a straight fitting. If you wanna get newer set of calipers you can get SS lines made for 1G with a banjo fitting forn rre, they are the same price as regular, but you have to phone them to place the order.

GOT SURGE?

The only way to upgrade the rears is to go aftermarket (or custom from other manufacturer's OEM). There's no rear equivalent of the "big brake upgrade". Some guys have upgraded the rears as well. Most report that although it does improve braking power, the difference doesn't justify the cost/trouble.
