PASSAT 3 OUTLET MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEM - vauxhall brakes

I am currently in the process of fitting a 9inch servo to my Driver and the problem i have is that the master cylinder i took off had 6 outlets and the passat 16v one only has 3 outlets

1. has anyone used a 3 outlet cylinder before and how did they get around plumbing it up to work effectively?

2. Will the use of t pieces and extra brake lines greatly reduce the amount of brake fluid going to the drums and calipers resulting in no real gain in pedal feel?

There are four brake pipes present and i am wondering would it be better to buy a brand new 4 outlet master cylinder so the four pipes will bolt straight in without needing to put in t pieces everywhere.

i have all the parts needed to do a vauxhall brake conversion and want to ensure that the servo and M/C can give me maximum benefit.

any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

MK2s had 2 outlet MC with T pieces from the factory, so that isnt an issue.  Getting it plumbed in neatly could be a struggle but easily doable if you take your time on the bends :)

if it was me, id use a front & rear outlet for the brake lines and T them off, then fit a brake switch into the last hole.  just make sure you T off opposite corners of the car to each outlet.
