Can a turbo be fitted to a 998?, it's what I wanted to do to mine but was left disappointed to find all I could find was turbos for 1275, I've been told a turbo on a 998 would just blow it up. If there is a turbo that can be fitted let me know!!!

Whoever told you this obviously had no idea what they were talking about. Basically any engine can be Turbocharged. If a larger engine can be Turboed why would a smaller engine with a suitable Turbo blow up ?
As said do a search theres plenty of Turbo 998's out there.

I have a reliable running 998 turbo. It's been used daily for over a year now.
