OP take it to someone that is an expert in these VQ motors. Most shops can't really handle these installed and they have to call in specialist to do the install and tuning done properly.
OP where are you located in socal?

Surprisingly real shops do everything in house, I know you aren't used to that though
ZoomZoom, if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM or give us a call at the shop.
Thank you,

GTM has been around for a long time, they have one of the best reputations in the industry.
You can always find some place cheaper. But unless you have the money for a rebuild, I would take it to a shop that will be honest with you rather than fitting your budget.
If a customer comes to us and wants us to do something they shouldn't be doing, I'll be very forward with them. We can discuss their budget and put together a timeline if they need. We won't half-*** a job though. It's easier to spend $1000 more upfront than to spend $6k rebuilding something that wasn't quite right. As a customer you also have to ask yourself how it is that someone can be "cheaper" than another quote you got. Where are they cutting corners, what aren't they telling you. Educate yourself first, thats the most important thing you can do as a consumer. The more you know, the less mistakes you'll make. Cause frankly if your motor does blow up, it doesn't matter where you take it, no shop is going to be buying you a motor.
Asking a bunch of people on a forum may get you some basic info, atleast a few shops to get price quotes from. You'll still have to talk to those shops though, find one that has a good reputation, is willing to discuss your build in detail beforehand, and will give you advice on the things that may or may not happen with solutions to those issues.
Also make sure the company you take it to isn't operated on someone elses business license, and they aren't working out of their fathers shop.
