"I'll have to call you in a bit Emma, yeah?"
"BLEEUUUGHHH"
Joe Summers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That part had me dying😂😂😂
😂😂😂
She sounds like she misses Ricky bad haha XD
Lol
It's good to see Jason Donovan isn't just singing songs these days!
Alex B genius. Shame Kylie isn’t on reception and mrs mangle doing the tea round.
That's exactly what i thought 😆
Love your candid “Emma phone” and “GoPro fail” moments. Nice to have those added in to give a bit of realism
Another excellent episode. Ricky I have to commend your spotlighting of different companies and services out there who cater for the aftermarket and just your professionalism in general. I'm still amazed you're completely self-taught. Keep up the good work! PS, please can you announce the next meet on RUclips so I can attend? I never know what's happening! 😂 Cheers!
17:08 I cant stop creasing up! You're reaction was priceless. I can just imagine you were probably thinking the cars falling apart after the tune lol
Yeah, should have did a before dyno pull and an after...men lie, women lie...numbers don’t.
Welcome To The Madness easily still done, you can switch it off and do a dyno.
Numbers do indeed lie on the dyno. They can be manipulated easily. As easy as running it in a different gear
A race , however...
Well numbers do actually lie too 👍😂 time slips & terminal times dont
@@AnotherRUclipsr460 well not really sir, if both days are dry and temperatures are roughly the same the outcome will always be very similar or thereabouts!
Many variables like rain and snow will give very different times, but infact consistent reliable cars will run similar tests back to back! If conditions are the same.
u will find a fwd car that runs 10s at pod in Febuary, will still run 10s consistently in august :)

Keep up the content your vids are getting better!
Love your vids man, always look forward to them.
Cracking vid Ricky and very informative. Looking forward to seeing your full review bro
Keep it up Ricky, you're smashing it with the content!
Great video as always Ricky, I've always been intrigued about these tuning boxes and difference between them and a full remap. Keep them coming buddy! 👍
Josh Kemp on Cars custom remaps always a better option.
It’s perfectly tailored to your specific vehicle.
Love how you keep this video real! Kudos to you bruv!
great video ricky. love how you really look into products and just dont take it for granted that it has more power :)
Love your videos pal. I'm a total car novice but your videos are easy to watch and educational. Hope you smash it this year
What a intelligent and professional man Steven is hats off, crazy gains.
Love a Saturday upload!! Sickkk content as always!!
Loving the vlog/ modifying your own car man keep the videos coming 🙏🏼🔥
great to see the channel grow
16:14 blueeehhhhh , what the hell was that lol that had me dying lol, nice and great vids ricky , keep it up
The instant map change by the app is a cool feature, its mad how tech works these days! Bless up Ricky and the LLF fam
The videos are sick mate I watch them all keep the content coming.
Great video, your cars sounds really mental. Looking forward to future videos regarding this BMW.
520+ is a big claims for remaps, let alone tuning box. Might wanna pop down to the dyno.
Not when bmw unrated all there cars from stock lol
@@AnotherRUclipsr460 no it does not lol
@@stefanfreestylez I echo that... They clearly don't
thug898 no
Hardly... 20-30% gains is normal for a remap
Love it Ricky! Them skills! What car...just wow!
Those cockpit sounds though ✌🏿great video !
Love your car dude 👌
Cracking vid mate
Another great vid 👍👍👍
I'm expecting a dyno tune with before and after results, prove that it actually works and I'll consider buying one
Cam Jackson Yeah I've already watched it and it's only proved what we already knew, these boxes are shit
Great video mate 👍
Bangin. Good driver 👍🏼
Great video again
Great work Ricky
*Quote of the day:-*
“I need my own TopGear test track!”
Looking forward to the video of it against Calvin’s Golf R 😎
really appreciate this one pal. Been thinking of one for mine for a good while as well from TDI Tuning themselves. A proper remap will bring a TD1 fault code for me at Audi so no warranty for me
Great stuff Ricky, I have one of there boxes, really good bit of kit, plus there very helpful there.
U can’t beat a tailored map tuned live on a dyno session,these boxes are ok but but can’t compete with a “properly mapped ecu” BMW can tell if the car has had a box fitted even after its been removed by looking at the shadow data stored in the cars ecu ie: max rpm,max boost Kia,max fuel pressure delivered,ignition timing parameters plus the gearbox ecu stores various torque figures etc,these cannot be cleared with most scan tools available. But on the plus side quick and easy to fit/remove and transferable to other vehicles with a reasonable price for the results. Pull all the stops out Ricky and showcase this M4 with all the latest tuning mods,I’m sure all the contacts u have now will help u out with some goodies in return for some airtime! Keep up the good work ✌🏼
Just beware Ricky, BMW will still be able to tell the car has had a “box” fitted, even if it’s removed completely, if there is a power train warranty claim, the car logs everything, and will show higher than regular boost levels etc and these are all stored in the ecu. Big brother is always watching. 😐
SanMarino_CS the car dealer is in his videos.... I’m sure they will know anyway 🤓
SanMarino_CS he’s going to be a millionaire by the time he gives it back
A tuning box lies to your ecu, modifying the signal. For example boost: stock lets say 1.4 bar, tuning box reads that, modifies it, sends out lets say 1.2 to the ecu, ecu says lets crank that shit up because its not 1.4, sends it to the actuator, sensor now says 1.6bar, box modifies again now to 1.4, sends to ecu, ecu happy... It does this to a variety of sensors, interrupting signals so the ecu thinks and reads everyting is stock. This way no signals should be stored as abnormal.
I hope Ricky charges Top dollar for the advertising TDI tuning going to get from this video and a free chip box thats £10000 Worth of you tube advertising if ever I saw it
The ECU might log everything, but it's being lied to so it logs what it thinks is normal. That's how the box works.
I had this on my FK2 made a massive difference, had to take it off when I had the exhaust done as needed the ECU map.
Been running tdi on my A class absolutely great service and company
love the happiness and laughs when you're driving
You may as well of done a ECU tune since you've made a video about having a tuning box installed. I mean surely someone at BMW dealership you bought this from is going to see this video...
Looks like you were right 😂
I’ve had mine for about 6 months and just think it’s set up so well as standard. I wouldn’t mind a lowering spring kit but that’s it.
Heard bad things with spacers, your body work will get smashed to pieces from stone chips. Otherwise, alcantara steering wheel and Cup 2’s for summer! Come to Spa! Much more fun than London. 👌🏻
I feel the comp pack m4 is perfectly balanced. I too was thinking about lowering the car but don't want to mess up the handling so kept it all stock. I did however fit 12mm spacers front & back and havent had any stone chip issues. I do have the OEM rear wheel arch paint protection film fitted.
Lads have had mine dropped 30mm...and 12mm/15mm spacers at Motech.
5000 miles. No damage no stone chips and handling is so so much better!
B15SDMDESIGNS this is interesting! I read online that some people has spacers and post winter had realised that grit has marred their paint work due to the additional overlap of the tyres out of the arches. Have you driven the car over winter yet? I have a half wrap from Topaz so including side sills etc. Expensive but has saved my front end when doing 70mph...
Johnny Harris Fast Lane Diaries again this is very interesting! Thanks for the feedback. Have you run the car over winter yet? Also are the lowering springs from Motedh too and if you don’t mind may I ask how much it cost?
S WB Cant really remember costs. I had lots done...sorry. Had the car G-Techniq'd when new and no marring or marks etc. I drive hundreds of miles on salty roads up and down to Manchester from London. If it does mark it I don't look at its ass and it's not a garage queen. I drive the doors off it! Mine is on the Motech RUclips page San Marino Blue. V100 plate. Also I ran an M2 for over a year putting about 20,000 miles on it thumping down and back to Switzerland all times of year. Spacers, Motech Stance setup. Not a problem. At full speed on Autpbhan it handled about 30% more stable than on standard springs with no skipping about. Also always run Cups 👍👍👌
Tell Mike I sent you. He'll take great care of you. His setups have game changed my cars and I have several places that do it much, much nearer to me!
Sorry for Hijiacking your video Ricky! 🔥🔥
Cant wait to see the bmw vs golf R keep up the good work
Haha that M4 is so good 👌🏼 wish i could drive one!
They drive well but theyre not all that mate a 40i is where its at after lovung bmws all my life working at bmw for 3 years driving m4s m3s m5s m6s plus all the normal ones and 40is the 40is dont get boring with the sound m4s and 3s getd boring 🤣 trest yourself plus my m140 is standard i push m4s out the way
2000bhp here we come... ;-) Great video mate!
Joe Achilles stfu and go back to your dead channel 👋🏾
Abdul Omar bit over the top
Man like Abdul is having a shit 2019 already....
Joe Achilles yeah 😂😂🤛🏼
Joe Achilles A man like Abdul doesn’t even have a channel. I like your videos Joe and LLF too. Keep it up 👍
Ricky man I am huge fan of your car. Perfect spec AS IT IS. The wheels the colour and the interior. You got a real bargain on the car
Ricky this is a great video and great choice I think you have cleared up a lot of questions about tuning boxes, I would deffo get one after seeing this. Sik man... we should do a vid with my E55 AMG and yours... just a thought :)
Another Top Video Ricky, on TDI Tuning's website now and ordering a module asap 👍👍
Had a tdi tuning box fitted at the Chelmsford branch a while ago on my 2016 335d not the best idea I’ve ever had some days the car would be fine others it would hold back and misfire went back and got it removed as it was very disappointing went to Dyno developments in Stevenage had the car On the rolling road and a remap 100% improvement over the box
Thank you for doing this video :-)
Don't know why people complain about the sound. Sounds amazing!
Would love to see you hooning that thing around a track Ricky
Ooooow gold buttons. Bangin vid as always Ricky!!!!!!!!!!
Great video just ordered this for my 67 plate competition pack M3
How did you get on with the plug in?
great video. i’ve always wondered how these things work.
would be good to see a before and after dyno, also would have been good if the guy from tdi tuning could explain a little more about how they work, even a remap vs tuning box to see what the differences are
amazing product, im getting is for sure.
Had one of these on my Leon fr 184.Was fine for about 4 months then engine seem to be over boosting or misfiring at high revs and it started to sound like a tractor....Took it off and took it to Seat and reset everything....all good now.....
Fantastic insight into this great technology. My only quibble is what about insurance. Great video Ricky
im getting this on my M4!!! Nice one for showing me this!
LM AO ok mate must like ya suped up K.A
Nooo, don’t get a tuning box. Get a proper remap from a proper company
...
LM AO my comment was to surg3nt
TDi Tuning seems to really know their stuff. Decided to see where they are located and turns out they are 5mins drive from my work 😂 don’t think a tuning box would make much difference to my E220 Taxi Edition though 😂
Great vid rorey do more tuneing vids !!
My focus st 5 pot doesn’t stop boosting just power and more power to the top end in all gears. Such a beast.
Each to their own and all that and a lovely car you have but i personally couldn't put up with all that wheel spinning as it is just wasted power,and that is what i love about my Mitsubishi Evo X,it will stick like shit to a blanket whatever the weather,and being in the UK the weather in normally crap.
Quite a few people have bought these, tried them before and after on a dyno and do absolutely nothing, seen quite a few with them plugged in, turned right up and only making the same or less HP. Can't beat a proper rolling road remap with before and after runs
I’ve got a dtuk box on my FR and it does make a difference. No fuel gain but no loss either. Seems to rev forever in third.
Good vid Ricky, I was gonna go down the road off a tuning box for my m135i, the only issue is they don't support decats or future mods.
Good choice rick
I think if I ever brought a car brand new this would be the route I would take, just makes sense trying to save your warranty and avoid unwanted bills.
Tbh this is a bit of an eye opener to tuning boxes for me as I’ve always had cars mapped.
*bought
@@EAD_0 cheers
@@EAD_0 Cry about his spelling 😭😭 clown boy 🤣🤣👉👉🤡🤡
The one very important aspect you didn’t mention is do you need to change the spark plugs to one step colder running the TDI box ?
Great vid, now start stocking rear tyres as you'll need them. Got the German race chip box fitted to my Bmw.
Best car RUclips channel by far, seen this channel grow from 10 subscribers and its mad to see it keep pushing but one thing though is look after yourself and Ur body and try hit gym Coz can see the stress on Ur face
LLF Wknd 👌🏾🙌🏾🤙🏾
Would love to see rear camera footage when the car's kicking out or when you're on throttle.. nice vid as always man keep it up :)
How will this work for smaller engines such as a 1.4tsi Ibiza, what real word results would you expect from that
It would be really good to see this on the dyno to check AFR, it's what's holding me back from a purchase.
yup me too
Putting one of these cheap boxes on your £70k car man - crazy!
Why is it crazy. Its tailored to the car.
Lol u think
@@evrensokmener6768 it's not tailored to the car at all, the company will have set files already to suit the model. Don't forget it maybe the same model but every engine doesn't run the same power out the factory. Would you pay to get your car mapped or live mapped? Common sense. As you can see I dont particularly believe in these tuning boxes but our man LLF is sound
Evren Sokmener He is crazy, and all this warranty stuff doesn’t cover shit any true car guy knows that.
@@ryanaitken5041 what damage does this box do to the engine? If you buy from a reputable company then you should see no issues. There is no guarantee that a engine remap will be a better option. There are so many guys remapping without dynos and they are just generic maps for £200. My mate has been running a race chip box for over a year with no issues.
Great video.. someone likes the word ***obviously*** abit to much 🤣🤣
I drank every time he said it, now i'm totally drunk Obviously!
Obviously
I like how it only gets said when talking about something that is not at all obvious
LLF imo best way to go is to try to get your hands on a spare ECU. You can go to town on one and keep the other stock. It's also safer as you will have a spare if the tuned one happens to get bricked for some reason. 👌
My brothers 140i bmw just made 471bhp and 500lbft it comes in low down in the revs on the graf but actually doesn’t fall on its face like you would expect just feels outrageously fast even when the auto gear box is banging through the gears at 6500rpm
These boxes are still detectable, the ECU logs the max/min levels seen on multiple sensors. It doesn't take long for BMW to check what its been boosting to etc. No tuning is warranty safe.
I've also never seen a tuning box make the quoted figures.
6years ago I got a TDi tuning box for a 2.0 Leon FR diesel (170 stock, 200 claimed) and can happily say it did sod all to the car's performance. I even tested it against a stock of mine and we were neck & neck the entire time.
@@kpcassell419 why didn't you get it removed and your money back in 30 days?
I've seen loads of engines producing more than the quoted tuning box figures if ran on premium fuel.
@@notmanynamesleft laziness.
@@notmanynamesleft cool. I'm just sharing my experience. If yours was different then we'll done to you. Mine wasn't so successful. I'm just being honest.
16:14 Emma's got a voice of a angel!
Lol I'm dead bro
16:13 demon strikes Emma🤣🤣🤣
For the price of that box you could get a live map anyway. But for Ricky it works with warranty etc. But if you don’t need to worry about that then just take it to a decent tuner.
Sounds similar to the JB4, hope you enjoy the tune man these boxes make a big difference for sure
Very cool! Can you also dyno it to show proof?
Very Nice mod Ricky
Grate video grate car gtr. The song knocking on heavens door come to mide' though I was shiting myself for ya Jose while laughing... What a sport. But I bet you ain't looking to hand the keys over again in a hurry. We'll dun you.👍
Looks a professional place, they even got a guy called chip in a tuning place 😀💪🏼
This “engineer” around 14:19 says each stage of the 1-7 numbers depicted is about a ~5 (give or take, depending on the car) hp increase but 7 x 5 = 35 and 435hp (“engineer”’s car as an example) + 35hp = 470hp and not “...525 easily on this tune”.
Also, always dyno and race! A good race always gives things away. I’ve seen more than a few people get these “tuning boxes” and TDI ‘s too in specific and I’ve never been able to tell the difference and when I raced a mate with the same car as myself, who had a TDI, he ended up losing consecutively! His car was slower - more good than bad it seems.
Great video, Ricky!

Hello.I've been subscribed to you since the start and love this channel! Keep up the great work👍 I've got a Vauxhall astra 1.7 tds with the Isuzu engine in from 1998 and don't want to change it too much so do you think one of them devices will help much with the performance?
1998 will need old school chipping. (Ecu needs to be removed from the car)
@@ThePhonecat Ok cheers for replying👍
Hi Ricky, I have been using the TDI tuning box for the last 2 years in my BMW. It surely those make a huge difference.
Does it? I'm interested in getting one but the comments seem to contain mixed emotions...
@@iProCombo , Yes it those. People always have their own opinion but sometimes we need to try things for ourselves. It's safe and can easy be removed and put back in. I have mad my own RUclips video on my channel on fitting it yourself. Plus if you change your vehicle as the guy mentioned, you can send it back for reprogramming. 👍🏽
@@joshuasherwain That's great! I'm getting a 435i in a few months which is why I was going to buy this rather than get a remap since I'll be selling my current 420d soon. They'll re-program it free of-charge for my 435i?
Ricky - good plug for TDI tuning and looks like you are happy with their pnp box on your new m4. I do question the logic about being concerned about warranty when vlogging on here though. Popularity of LLF on YT might be your undoing if s55 goes pop or spins it hub and you take it in for repairs under warranty....??
