Default Local (DC) turbo rebuilder?

Wondering if there is/are any good stock turbo rebuilders in the Washington DC area? Needs to be stock for a 944cup (Super) car... Or should I just send it out, and if so, to whom? TIA

If you send it out I think majestic is the cheapest. Tempest in MD might be able to do it, but I'm not sure. They do a lot of custom turbo work.

I last used a place in Richmond, I will have to find their card. They did an excellant job and were very reasonably priced.

I had mine rebuilt by B&D Fuel Injection a few years ago. No problems at all in 15K miles. They're an authorized Bosch dealer too. www.dieselpump.com

Thanks for all the suggestions/contacts. Hope can locate the contact for the guys in Richmond, Chris.

In case I decide to send it out, anyone have any experience with the "Name" rebuilders, like Lindsey? (I know they don't actually do them themselves, but their price, $350, is about the same as the "cheap' place, Majestic ($325 incl return ship)) And is a turbo re-build a turbo re-build? or is there any sort of "touch" involved? This is going in my track car, so while it won't see many miles, they'll be hard ones.
