Does PSM affect steering/feedback?

If the PSM system retards power, then weight could shift to the front causing the steering to feel heavier. Not sure I understand what your doing or under what road conditions to induce this feeling.

When driving with PSM on and sport mode off, the steering will sometimes get stiff, particularly when exiting a turn hard enough on the gas so that PSM will catch me, and then slight throttle lift and some more steering input into the turn as if i was trying to get a little oversteer. Right then is where the steering seems to get really stiff, almost like locking so I can't/it's hard turn past a certain point.
Is PSM 'limiting' the steering input? Or is this just physics?

You sound like you may be understeering.
Your lift is loading the front tires and then you are trying to input more steering. Tires can't handle both depending on speed that is. So car won't turn and steering gets heavy.
BTW... steering input does not give a little more oversteer.

You described the effect quite well. Although you omitted the Top Gear-style cloud of smoke, which admittedly is optional.Last year, the startling new information for me was that a modern Porsche behaves that same way at first. It took me nearly three hours of track time to figure out why and how to get it cornering like we all know it wants to: like a race car with leather seats. Damn, I love this Carrera but I had to woo her like a shy vixen. (If you can picture that combination.
