Default Turbo installers Houston?

I just got a good deal on an STS Turbo kit w/intercooler, STS doesnt have a dealer in Houston, would any of you guys know anyone that would do a good job here and a good price?

i recommend Carboy...they are an import shop, but i guarantee that they have done more turbo install than any other shops in houston..they have built some of the fastest turbo streetcars in Houston and they are doing alot of domestics now..including 67-69 camaros and chevelles..

even ANDY with the STS red Vette takes his car there to get worked on...they are a real shop that have been in business since the early 90s...not like some of the new shop run by some kids..they also have a built in dyno...I take all my cars there!

well..i have talked to Andy and he complained that some of shops around houston cant get the job done right..i have freinds that have domestics and other real sport cars and most of them take there cars to Carboy..

im not saying that they are better with domestics, but for turbos and custom work, they are very good..

have you seen the supra swap on my 240 and the supra swap on that red 67 camaro??? very clean and show quality..

Ok fair enough. We will definatly run the boost logic supra heads up no wheelie bars tire for tire any day of the week. You think that his car is a long way off but as soon as we get the cylinder heads watch how fast this car gets built. Half the fab work is already done as well as the suspension. But we shall see. Duy I like you no matter what people say, your willing to race anyone. If we do it for enough change I will get a message embroiderd on the parchute just for you or who ever is driving the supra
