Default Tuners in Somerset area

Anyone know of any top notch RST tuners in the Somerset area. Don't want to have to go too far with a poorly running car.

Interpro are in Thornbury which is near Bristol!
i've been using them for a few years now and they are very good.
Dave the RR operator is especially good with RST's

Yeah I had thought about them but I've had a lot of mixed comments on them. Some say they are shit hot others say they break more than they fix. A few people have also told me they have moved away from the Ford scene and are doing Evos and Scoobies.

Not sure how true any of this is to be honest.
Anyone have any experience (good or bad) with them?

Tipton Garage in deepest darkest Devon are very good, they know their RS Turbos too, took my old one there and came away very happy with the setup.

Located in a village called Tipton St John.

Thanks for that guys. I gave them a ring and they're flat out busy until the end of august. I'm trying to get a setup before Ford Fair! Nightmare! May have to go with Interpro, Fortune-PVE or NE Motors.

Anyone have any experiences with those?

There's also Alan Jeffery's in Plymouth, not sure how good they are, don't know anyone who's used them recently...

Good luck getting it sorted mate!
