It's a long shot but maybe something got into the nipple where the vacuum line connects to your DV. You might want to look into that just to make sure. And you could be in limp mode. Try disconnecting your battery for 10 min and then reconnect it and do a TBA.

It may not be related, but there are at least a few people on Audiworld that have had problems with the R1 causing pressure drop due to a weak spring. They sent them back to have a stiffer spring put in.

You obviously dont know how DV/BOV/Bypass valves work. Wether they operate with a rubber diaphragm or apiston, they all use springs.

The R1 is just a glorified 710N. The fact that there is no way to service it with different springs/lube, etc. well that is a huge turn off for me.
