I have the 205-50-15 Nitto 555r's also and making around the same amount torque you are....I boil them in second still, even with a Quaife. My suspension is not up to par as yours but I still boil them and sometimes spin em at 90mph. I plan to go with a wider tire.

If you have an electric boost controller such as the Profec B, just run the lowest boost possible (traction permitting) in 2nd gear and then flick it to high boost in 3rd.

Get tires first, i dont care how good your suspension/traction bar setup is if you on shitty tires it still is NOT going to hook.
