When I got a shadow 30FF code it was because the vacuum line going to the rear turbo was so brittle it was just falling apart. I know you checked some vacuum stuff but be sure to check the wastegate vacuum lines especially. Can't be seen from top of the engine. Just follow the lines with your hand.

Change all vacuum lines and the plastic ones over the valve cover. Get good silicone line.
