Basically what I'm asking, is the restriction to 280HP to do with sofware of the ECU or is it hardware related which means I would have to replace the turbo's with steel ones as well as increase injector size along with other mods?
This is a turbo car...just turn up the boost and make as much power as you want. Be sure to run 93 octane at less than 16psi and add 100+ octane race fuel at more than 16psi. When you hit about 425rwhp, you'll be maxing out those injectors.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
