You can do what you like to the exhaust, fact is that the waste gate limits the amout of air going in & thats it ! With no extra air you can only get a very little extra via increased fuel ~ IP adjustment.
Bigger exhaust gives nothing but noise on a turbo with such a low waste gate setting. I have diesels here (not 617's) that run 25 to 30 # boost all day every day under load. Only restricted by EGT & MAF constraints.
To increase boost by a reasonable amount on a 617 you would probably need to install an inter-cooler like later MB's have.
