Turbo Install in Austin (or San Antonio), TX?

Anyone familiar with Moorespeed in Austin, TX? I'm going to be purchasing TPC's Turbo and I'm looking for recommendations for anyone in Austin or San Antonio to handle the install.

I spoke with them and they said they can do it, however, although they have a dyno it's currently not in use and they're looking to sell it. I want to make sure the tuning is correct (AFR, etc.) and also optimum output achieved. I'm going to send another oil sample to Blackstone before actually pulling the trigger. Hopefully things will be fine with the engine as it has 93K, although I've never abused it and it's a Tip, and prior to owning it (put 30K on it) it wasn't modified at all.

txhokie4life is infamous around these parts
Boost Logic up off 620 and Anderson Mill in Austin.

They are Turbo nuts.

Now that being said -- I'm not a fan of forced induction on the 996/997 M96/M97 engines. They are just not that stout to support that much HP.
Even if everything holds together, you'll loose your **** on value.

I would seriously consider selling the 997 as is. Take the money
you would spend getting the Turbo installed and go with a 996 Turbo
or maybe a 997 Turbo if its still in your price range.
