Sorry, I made a typo. You are correct they are 4 pistons, but much larger diameter pistons (so more fluid needs to move for each unit of distance the piston extends).

One other thing to consider is rotor thickness. The turbo calipers are designed to work with turbo rotors, which are 32mm thick. Boxster front rotors are only 24mm (base) or 28mm (S). What rotors do you plan to run?
