Local shop in my area that specializes in custom Fab work and build custom race and funny cars in my area. These guys also did my D2 coilovers, Married my REMUS Mufflers to my GReddy cattback, and installed my Wilwood BBK. Two of the installers are experience custom Turbo installers and we also have the support of SFR in SoCal on this project...

He could get an electronic boost controller. Then set for a progression of boost to what he chooses for full boost. That way he could set the level to the most he can across the rpm while keeping traction. A different way could be leaving on 0 boost and then use a small shot of N02 to spool up the turbo. Again a controller could be used to set the timing and strength of the shot adjusting it for best traction vs spool-up.

Go easy on the gas for one, and I have an electronic boost controller going in that I can dial it down with 1 button...
