Turbo engine in Carrera?
Is it possible to install turbo engine in Carrera and how much cost second hand engine?
If yes,isnt that better option than repairing stock engine?
Turbo engine has quality bore and piston materials not suffer from scoring, generally well build...

Anything is possible. Is it worth the time and cost, no.
Needs intercoolers and airflow to them. Needs a different dash. Needs a different DME as the turbo DME has more tuning parameters for engine management and the DME has to be coded to the chip in the key and the security box.
Sell the car and buy the TT.

I believe 9ff makes a kit that will let you convert a TT to RWD That's what I'd pursue if I bought one. If considering the 996 version, Rennkit sells a kit from Phoenix racing that will do the RWD conversion.
Other option is to buy a RWD GT3 which is similar in price to the TT.
Bumpers for RWD non-Carreras just go up from there - GT2, GT3RS, etc.

OP, if you can't afford to buy a turbo, you won't be able to afford to swap a turbo engine into the carrera neither trust me. A shop has previously swapped a GT3 engine into a carrera as you can see in the video below. They say the cost to make all that work is about the same as rebuilding the original engine to a high standard. So it should be around $25k to $35k, parts and labor included. And that is by a Porsche specialist in the US that knows what they are doing. If it's in Europe (your account info says you are from France), where there are a lot less information available modding a carrera to this degree, the cost will be even higher. I'd say it would cost around 40k to 50k euros to get it done.

You should look into doing a full drive train swap from a tesla. From what I hear the architecture and geometry are a near perfect match and can be accomplished at home using basic hand tools in just a few hours. Porsche has spent millions trying to suppress this knowledge and the big data companies like Google are complicit. You'll need to search the dark web to find the answers you want.

Turbo won't be double price by the time you're done with trying to get the motor to work.

These threads are getting more ridiculous by the minute. LOL. Yeah sure, just buy a roller 997 and drop in a Turbo engine and you’re good to go! Easy! Go for it, and let us know how it goes!

lol, that would be the most pointless thing to do.

Here we go again. This is the same semi-literate troll who started the M96/97 "bad engine" thread, then proceeded to ignore every serious response and tried to pick fights. He then started the "Porsche gas mileage" thread (eye roll) demanding we list values in liters/100 km because mpg was too confusing. In that thread after Pete patiently explained potential fuel wash issues with DFI engines, he had another meltdown claiming the 9A1 was a "bad engine". Now he wants to put a turbo engine in a Carrera. I'll just beat him to the punch and declare the turbo a "bad engine" so we can move on the the next ludicrous topic. How about a Tesla motor swap? Maybe stick an LS engine in the frunk as a back-up?

Seems he's a perfect candidate for a new Toyota Supra. Japanese reliability and a warranty. Done.

Just noticed that Torq5teer already had the Tesla drivetrain swap idea so I'll withdraw that one, don't want to be accused IP theft. The spare LS in the frunk is all mine though, surprised no one had done this yet as it's so obvious in hindsight.
