You think the Brembo GT's is fine for road and just enough for a chipped S3. I'm thinking of getting porsche ones but as you said the price is hell of a lot /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif.

In my experience, the Brembo kit is way more able than any chipped S3 will ever need them to be on the public road.
I have never faded mine...the feel of the pads is superb and tha action very linear.
Why spend more?
As to whether the Porsche derived set up will be better on the track? Probably.
But is that down to the choice of Porsche's pad? Probably.
To be honest, I used to run Forge Motorsport grooved standard discs and EBC greenstuff pads on my chipped S3, and never found them to be a problem!
I have no doubt that they would have suffered on the track though...

is there a lot of difference from the standard S3 brake system then the brembo GT.

Yes.
The Brembos are superb and offer not only better stopping, but better feel and more linear application too.

Also are the standard S3 calipers 4 pot?

No, sliding calliper single pot.
