Mine did exactly the same thing.
I turned the car on and off 7 or 8 times and each time the revs settled a little bit more..I think it has something to do with the ECU having to relearn the values of a new part?

Have you taken live wire off the battery ??? The ecu needs to calibrated the icv, I disconnected my battery for around 5 min, started it up, and it was fine.

Definitely give it go mate.. leave it off for around 5 min, some lrave theres off for hours, but 5 minutes has always done the job for me, the reconnect, turn the ignition to the 2nd knock, leave for 30 seconds then fire that mother fucker up Haha.
