New turbos (stock 93-95 or 99-spec) with both run you over $3k. Malloy or Mazdatrix might get you the best price, if you consider that acceptable. Local dealer will probably charge at least $4k for the same thing.

Low mileage used turbos are half to 1/10th that price on eBay or the classifieds here. Occasionally you'll see unused new turbos for sale at well under $3k.

Rebuilt turbos you won't see too often, but from what I recall they run around a grand or more.

If you have the proper supporting mods in place, you can go bigger/faster for less than the price of stock turbos, which is why you won't see many people buying them. So those folks operating on a budget usually go the used turbo route.

Unless you have all the fuel, boost control, and tuning mods in place, $2k won't go too far. I would put a set of used stockers or 99 specs on. You *might* find used single kit for that, but it doesn't seem likely.
