Congrats and welcome, Adrian. i enjoyed reading about your journey into 986-hood.

As far as the foam blowing, its likely coming from the hot/cold mixer door between your heater core and AC. It is a metal piece with holes that are covered by said foam. The foam and glue has deteriorated over the years and is blowing out the vents. You may also start to notice you don't have hot heat or cold AC, but sort of lukewarm/cold. That's because of no more foam covering the holes and the mixer not being able to separate hot from cold. It's a do-able DIY, but you need to take a lot of stuff off under the front cowl to get to it. Once you do, just vacuum the foam bits out and re-foam it with some weather stripping.
