I paid a dealer $1400 to replace timing belt, tensioner, water pump and front main seal several years ago. Pricy, but in a HCOL metro.
Cons: pricy
Vehicle:

Turns out I did not tighten the bolts enough on the intake cam gear. A couple came very loose or out. Tore up the timing belt, the cam gear and valve cover.
Cons: Tore up timing belt

There is a fault with these engines! The belt starts to break up prematurely, clogging up the oil galleries inside the engine! First sign of this starting to happen is your turbo starts to get louder, then siezes. Happened mine just outside of warranty (42k miles). Luckily honda footed the bill and replaced the engine.
Cons: premature belt breakup, oil gallery clogging, turbo seizure
