Chris, I have experience removing engines from 944s and installing them back in. I did this on my Goldie all by myself. I haven't done a turbo yet, but I think the only extra pain is the crossover pipe.
I have all the notes on the steps that need to be done, so it goes pretty straight forward. The only thing that took me time was cutting off rusted bolts on the exhaust down tube. Getting to two bolts on the torque tube are hard too, so you will need an assortment of extensions and flex joints.
The only thing special you will need is an engine hoist and stands or lift that can raise the car up by about 24 inches. I have removed engines both by the top and the bottom, and the bottom is the much easier approach.
I may be able to lend my "expertise". Just let me know when you are available.
