I will unfortunately loose the immobiliser but can install an after market one.
Just took it for a blat before and I got 9psi in 5th gear too. Lots of blue smoke behind me too :O probably the piston rings.
It's always smoked a bit so nothing new.

It sounds like its not the ECU if the boost is going that high.
If you go for a non electronic pump, you may have a problem with injector timing & advance.
Were you below 1750 rpm?
If so, did it die when it got to 1750?
Have you blown back your fuel line?
Disconnect the feed line from the filter, take the filler cap off & blow the line back with an air hose.
Dont do it with a full tank! Best less than 1/4 tank.
Leave it overnight so any muck that has been blown off the strainer settles.
The smoke when you gave it a burst maybe oil in the intercooler cleaning out.
This warm weather should have it running well.
Being a 2000, yours should have 2 temp sensors. You could try swapping the leads to see if there is any change.
If you have ring issues, it wont start easy.
Do you have the EGR blocked off? You need a blank plate between the EGR & the inlet manifold. A piece of tin can is good.
Just my thoughts.
I have a spyder tune box that I have not used as mine goes well enough.
If you want more go, let me know.
