Default A/c question that i think i know answer but want confirmation

Hello all
recently my ac has been acting up. At first it was needing a throttle stomp to get it going. Then at low rpms getting weak but at road speed nice and cool. Then i noticed the compressor being commanded off for a period then back on. I decided to replace the dessicant bag thinking it might give a clue. Well the clue is a black bag with shiny sprinkles all over it. I guess a compressor is needed. I am a month removed from back surgery so that will have to wait. In the meantime i did the comp valve reversal and spring. I also vacuumed for 3 hours and then held vac for 3 more. I charged the system and it works good enough at higher rpm. Any insight or tips or anything is always welcome. I think the new bag will at least catch stuff. 2006 s type R. The comp still kicks off after a bit and i suspect it is the ac protection working. Then comes back on and blows cold. Swapped relays and same outcome
