Default Some one nearish to Bristol to set up my RST

Hi all, Ive been looking around here since i got my RST all be it a base model thats had an RS transplant. From what I gather people dont rate Interpro to highly so is there any one thats good in setting up/tuning a RST fairly close to Bristol? It does need doing as its had a few mods and I dont want to damage the engine at all, better safe than sorry.
Thanks for your help.

If you get a chip off someone like MSD, Im happy to set it up for you sometime.

Im in taunton.

Not particuarly an RST expert but I do map a lot of cars so am confident I can set up a chip for you as MSD will of course provide instructions anyway.

I would use a company that knows MFi really well as its not straight forward and requires experiance to get the most out of the system.

eeeewww, didnt realise he meant MFi, yuck! lol

Yeah, definately worth doing to someone who specialises in it, as its a bit of a black art and not really one worth most tuners having anything to do with so most wouldnt have a clue!

Agreed.

Bottom line is, to find someone who really knows the MFi setup you'll probably have to travel!

First question I would ask anyone I was taking an MFi car to would be:
"when did you last setup an MFi CVH?"
and the next would be
"and how many have you done in total"


Definately something where experience of the specific model counts for a lot!
