After about 3 months of the driving, the plunger would need to be removed and re-lubricated as all the lubricant would get worn away. Without lubricant, the DV would be slow to react, thus making it worse than the OEM DV. Servicing the DV on the WRX was a breeze as it was right on top of the motor. The DV in the N55 is buried in No-man's Land. I would bet if you pulled that plunger, you'd see that it's no longer lubricated and is dragging heavily on the DV cylinder walls.
