Traction bars and drag radials would help. Stiffer springs as well. You already have an LSD I suppose.

Hmmmmm, a gear dependent boost controller and some meatier sticky tires could help. I wanted to be a smart *** and say "take the turbo off", oh well.

The only thing for traction you could do for your trans is a longer final drive.

Traction requires, proper suspension, (traction bars, duh), and drag radials.

If you do all that you will notice a GREAT improvement in traction

Welcome to a high HP FWD car, where traction does not exist. I'd suggest picking up an AVC-R which has the gear dependent boost. Turn boost down low in 1st and 2nd gear and you'll do better.
