Engine honing - where?

Got my turbo engine stripped down yesterday and the bores will need honed as they're a bit shiney now. It shouldn't need bored out at all, just the surface treated. Where is best to take this to and how much should I be paying?

I'm reluctant do buy a honing tool and try it myself in case it goes wrong, needs bored out to correct and I'll need to get new pistons.

Where have you all used and would recommend?

Not sure where my own engine got done recently (re-bore) however you could get in touch with PeterRST who is a sponser on here, PBS Engineering

aye they could be good as a spare set - i haven't checked what the existing ones are like, unsure on the mileage too so could be a shout since they have new rings
