Yes, the unit comes with a bypass plug that you plug into the wiring harness in place of the chipwerke. This effectively removes the chipwerke and runs the truck as stock.
Things I noticed to add to the above.
1. There is less power with chipwerke off. I'm certain of that. It does add power. Enough to feel just in a morning commute without much spirited driving (foggy day)
2. Last night, before disabling the chipwerke, I set the cruise at 85mph in Normal. The turbo gauge showed consistent surging between the T and the U letters in turbo. You could feel it, but barely. The mph was steady but you could feel the truck surging ever so slightly, but not enough to notice an mph change. This morning with the chipwerke disabled I did the same thing. 85mph cruise control. The turbo gauge was always below T and barely if ever surged. You could not feel any engine or truck surging at all. The gauge is not perfect but it was enough to see that the turbos were making very close to the same amount of boost (almost none.)
I don't know if this is expected behavior.

but it has flaws that need addressing. I'd like to know how to address it. i don't really want to return something that, when it works well, is fantastic.
