Default Turbo fit and map - Essex area

Having just fitted my FMIC I am in the market for a turbo to replace my MD321H
I need to find the best place, relatively local, to supply, fit and map an MD321T billet. Preferably with rolling road facility.
Present engine spec on my 45k 03 STi includes: 650 inj., full 3" Milltek system, GT spec headers with Harvey S up-pipe, AVC-R

Any recommendations within a sensible distance from Romford would be welcome!

Ready to go past 400 now then John? As for a local place, I would say Slowboy Racing near Brandshatch as he would the best specialist nearest to us

Was nudging 400 with the top mount so with the FMIC and map tweek would hope it would top that figure on the existing spec. As I'd gone (rather reluctantly) to the front mount, I thought I may as well go to the sensible limit along with the current engine spec. After discussion I thought the MDX321T would be (arguably) the best turbo to give good spool as well as power.
I have considered Slowboy as they also trade the MD turbos but need to be assured as to their mapping expertise. Up to now, the car has been mapped by a very well known and respected person in this field but I'm having a few problems in getting organised with him at the moment!

I usually get Paul to do the bits I can't get to safely (I've no personal access to a lift.) He could fit the turbo fine, but would need to organise a mapper!

Would Surrey Rolling Road be able to do the turbo swap?
Sounds favorite at the mo. as it's easy to get to, amongst other things!

Unless you swap the turbo and leave the actuator rod off to drive to SRR?

From my experience, I would go JGM/rolling road or Slowboy from the above options.
