What turbos and turbine housings are you running exactly that you're maxing out at 30psi?
I can get more boost out of it with some different wastegate springs. The turbos however are Xona 6564 with the .62AR internal wastegate housing (IWG).
Yeah I'm kind of trying to decide what to do next. We're going to put some stiffer wastegate springs in it, but beyond that I'm not sure.
I'd like to get a built transmission in it, but haven't quite figured out what I want to do with gear ratios. I'd also like to do GT3 heads on the car someday and that plays into it too as 9000rpm would make the stock gearing nearly perfect.
Typically on a turbo car doing heads like gt3 ones will make power of course when moving a lot of air but you’ll also introduce more lag down low as ports are bigger. Its like getting cams put in or larger AR housing on a turbo, power shifts to the right. If doing highway roll ons and 1/2 mile stuff sure but street car I’m not sure it’d be a good call.

Everyone with these power levels is already running GT3 sized ports, although internal volume is another thing. I agree with what you're saying but since everyone port matches to GT3 gaskets/ports I'm curious what the actual shift would be.
I rescued mine from a Porsche dealership where the doctor traded her in as the down payment for his wife’s Macan. He also ordered a 991 turbo for himself. True story.
Luckily for this 997 she has been fully rehabilitated
My .1 was also a dealer trade-in but for a .2 6MT...the guy wanted the last year of the 997 6MT.
Motec c127 is top notch. I've been thinking about upgrading my Syvecs sdm500 to the bigger SDM700. Good luck on the recovery!
Nothing stopping you from going to the Motec dash. I had a couple reasons for it. I have so many extra sensors, actuators, etc. that I'm out of inputs/outputs on the S6+. By purchasing the Motec dash with the IO option it becomes an IO Expander AND a dash. Since they integrate via CAN it can also log everything going on in the Syvecs ECU, and use the Motec datalogging/visualization software.
Where did you mount your SDM500? I'm trying to decide where I want to put the C127 right now.

Reason: spelling
I had my Motec C127 mounted in front of the tach on the steering wheel column. I actually still have the custom bracket for that and the modified column cover that I'm no longer using.
