Well yes, it does take the motronic some time to readjust things but maybe 1-2 runs around. The thing is it is not going to be a huge drastic difference, you will feel some difference of course. The torque is really where the difference is and top end. You will see it really kick in above 5000RPM. But you should notice a little more pull on low end and mid.
Just bare in mind that your gaining 14hp but at 6500 RPM.Little boost in power at 3500RPM with 11 hp gain over stock, but levels off around 9 hp gain until 5500 RPM and up.

If you do not like it let me know? The chips is mainly to enhance the cars performance but also keep the car drivable for standard street.

You should notice it more on the highway when your at 3500RPM or more, try passing a car doing 80MPH downshift and punch it, you will see a big difference. Off the line power should be pretty good as well.

Have fun!
