I have a T6 T32 204 4 motion. I have the Porsche big brake upgrade on the front already.
The 204 comes with big calipers as standard on the front and I have them in the garage. I was wondering if they will fit on the back as anyone done this upgrade

In a word no. And in fairness the rears don’t need upgrading unless purely for visuals, as most of the braking is done by the front end.

Up grading the rear brakes is mainly cosmetic , if you have too much braking capacity on the rear the A B S is going to just work harder . If you lock up the rear wheels on any vehicle it will try to turn about face , The ABS sorts this out of course so this doesn't happen , Fit quality pads and Discs like Nutexa , and maybe paint the callipers if looks are important .
BUT
Here is a nice easy test for all you techos to try .
Take a Model Corgi or matchbox car roll it down a slope , wheels turning freely

Roll it a second time with the front wheels jammed still with some pieces of paper

then roll it down the same hill with the rear wheels jammed still with paper .
