Default Air conditioning relay?

So I just recharged my Air conditioning. I also just chipped my car.

When the air conditioning is on now there is a clicking that sounds like a relay coming from the fuse box area. Every time it clicks my RPMs change and the car either bogs down like 500rpm or jumps up and lunges a bit. It's more noticeable at low speeds. I'm just not sure what this is?

My theory is when the AC compressor kicks in and out the car adjusts accordingly, it is however doing so too much for my new ECU causing a more noticeable change... maybe?

Has anyone had this happen or have an idea whats going on here?

Thats normal unless its realy repetative. The A/C will make the idle drop when it starts and slows the car down a ton (especially with people in the car, youll definetly notice it if you have a manual, clutching it can really become annoying)

I just recharged my air and it's clicking quite often. Enough where something doesn't seem right. Ideas? Possibly pressure issues?
