New tuned car

I have tuned my car today and wonder how much I need to drive before I can feel the tune ?
Because now I can't feel any difference.
Tuned via Powergate 2 (Alientech)

there's always a small window where your ECU will adapt to the new tune and smooth out a bit, but you should be able to feel a difference immediately. you should be boosting a lot higher right off the bat. Do you have a boost gauge or VCDS?

Hi,
I have VCDS.
I got answer from the tuning person that it can take up to 100km to drive after I feel the new tune.

Ive checked in few forum and few persons with same tuning, They said that some engine ecu can take time to calibrate to tuning parameters when driving.

"Does it usually take a certain amount of time for your ECU to learn the new map/flash?"

"Short answer is yes, any time the ecu is reset there is a couple of parameters it needs to relearn."

If I reset the powergate 2 after Ive turned the car to original can I tune the car again from beginning with the same tuning file ?
