hahahaha. I think that the only route to go when the DSG starts to fail is an AMT with wet clutches. The DSG system certainly isnt meant to manage that much HP over stock. DSG takes a long time to perfect and to get it to work smoothly so you can bet that Nissan started with the engine and then developed the transmission around it. The system is definitely going to fail as you start to add more HP. The answer, I think, is either to make a DSG system that can handle the power, or an AMT such as the one in the F430, to handle all the power that the VQ38 can throw at it. An AMT with wet clutches is more than capable of handling the power due to the larger disc/contact patches. It just takes more development to get it into the same range that the F430 is at. The 599 gtb is at 100ms and it "feels" seamless. The F430 at 60 MS....is practically perfect. Make a DSG that can handle the power and shift quickly and you have a definite winner. (if this doesnt make any sense... blame it on alcohol)
