I have too, and they also have a lot of experience with the HydraEMS (the EMS I am going to be using)

I have had a recent opportunity to work with Turbo Hoses and the owner named Hoover and it was so so bad I could not wait to leave! High price, very rude , I would not ever go back. They into tuning cars such as Nobils , Thats just my opinion

Yep. I actually e-mailed them for a quote earlier today.
While Blacktrax quoted me $185/hr and it should take 2-3hrs.

There are plenty of other good shops around the best bet is to get your plan together and go with the one you are cool with on both communication and pricing you need to make sure you are both on the same page.

X2 Those guys are great to deal with!! :D
