ive used both. found martin to be a very sound guy, bit on the safe side when it came to mapping but thats not always a bad thing.

Martin Wont push it as far as TDP. But TDP's yokes have a habit of blowing up cause he pushes them so far. Martin Does play it a bit safe but you do want a reliable yoke for drifting. Bit costly repairing it the whole time....

This is pretty much it, martin gets good response but with safe results. Nice lad to deal with too.

So do they blow up because they are old engines that then get ragged to death or is there something I am not aware of ?

Agreeing with Robbie here

You can't make a statement like that and not back it up

Driver error. Not building error.

Oh I have nothing against pushing it that far at all. Its just the money situation is all. thats why I wouldnt push it. Nothing against you at all robbie. It is mostly the lads that want them pushed that far.

I would close this thread, pointless, and going to cause problems and arguments. Both mappers are well known and respected imho, choose who you want, but conversations like this will only lead to speculation and shite throwing etc. (and my arm isnt the best at the mo!!)

Comparing engine tuners is very difficult anyway. There's just far too many variables.
Drivers, how it was built and by who and what parts were used, oil and fuel, age and how it was run in and loads of other stuff.

Yeah enough said. TDP have the best results of anyone in the country over several different disciplines, most noticeably drifting, and are the only mappers who will be trading on here for the foreseeable future.
