replacing the WP, rollers, belts, front seals and collars, cam cover gasket, rear cover gasket, rotor, coolant flush/fill, radiator drain plug, oil pump drive sleeve are all the while your in there things to do.
including assorted shop supplies runs about $600 in parts. you can do this job over the weekend on an N/A and only need a few specific tools - not sure if more is involved on the turbo.
learn to do this yourself, save big bucks, know it's done right and share a few beers and busted knuckles with your porsche buddies.

i got a brand new waterpump that was bad out of the box... had a bad bearing so it made a really loud, high pitched whine while running. got that guy out of there asap. but anyway, the job isn't that bad, good luck!

Be careful, some shops will not combine things. The first shop I talked to about my car was going to charge me full price for changing the water pump and full price for the belts. They were also going to charge me full and seperate labor fees for changing the tranny mounts and the clutch. They were straight up pirates. Glad I found my current mechanic. He combines all the labor costs.
