I'm another happy Zetec customer and will vouch for their outstanding
customer service.

In my case, I drove my 90 syncro westy to their shop where Jim and Brady
did the conversion, installed the A/C and cruise, and sent me on my way
back to Minneapolis. I left their shop within hours of completing the
conversion and after a short test drive with J&B. I had one minor problem
on the way home related to the idle, which Jim helped me easily correct by
talking me through a quick adjustment over the phone.

For anyone contemplating this converion, I must say that the power and
flexibility of this engine are outstanding. Even in "normal" ECU mode, I'm
able to pull the fully loaded vehicle up hills at 65-70 mph -- faster if I
want. And I'm getting 18-20 mpg on most tanks using regular gas. I'm very
satisfied how the Zetec has transformed my driving experience and given me
peace of mind on long trips. Another 500 mile trip this weekend with no
problems. And many more on the way.
