hi mate you want to get a brand new 22mm 16v master cylinder from either euro car parts or gsf i paid 40quid posted it doesn't matter about 2 or 4 outlets as you blank off whats not used
mine was a 4outlet, also you might want to check whether you brake light switch is on the pedal as mine was or on the outlet pipes

do a search mate or go to mk1golf.org

http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=16

 and go to the braking faq it will give you all the info you need, take particular care with the cutting of the thread on the 16v servo as getting this wrong can cause serious issues with brakes binding etc

but all the info is in that link
