What are you trying to do? Just upgrade the calipers, or rotors as well?

Here's a link for a pieced together BBK.

Am i correct in that a company (Wilwood?) makes a caliper upgrade for the tC1 that works on stock-sized rotors?

You're correct, but the price

edit: Also remember just upgrading the caliper with more pistons doesn't mean stopping distances would decrease. You have to consider tires, rotor size/diameter, brake pad material and contact area, brake force distribution, etc...
