Does the 998s call for the same one as the 996? Anyone know where to source one? Is it a straightforward installation? Is replacement advisable in the absence of outright failure?

The 998 will have the modern 3 phase alternator and regulator, the 916 
is equiped with the single phase system that was prone to trouble. If 
the connections are kept clean to the regulator
then you should not have any trouble. My SS and ST both have these and I 
have never had a problem.
