how much do you think a garage would charge to take out my running 998 and replace with a running 1293 turbo?

You'll need a tank with a recirculation pipe to allow the injection (Bosch) pump to work as it was intended on the turbo metro and ERA mini.

You'll also need a turbo regulator.

I think you'll need a big wallet.
