No turbo I can think of is $2000, even new. And if the turbo was located in a reasonable location, its typically only 2 or 3 hours of labor to swap it out.
I can't think of a single car that has the turbo where the 944 turbo does, and its not just because of easier packaging.
No car is designed perfectly in retrospect, and the turbo location is probably the most obvious flaw with the 944 Turbo. I'm sure it seemed like a wise choice for the sake of turbo longevity at the time, but it was an overly conservative choice in retrospect.
