880s are too big for his Apexi AFC. He should get DSMLink to tune that car, then the 880s will be fine. He doesn't need and shouldn't get an AEM EMS. He can push the car closer to the edge while still being safe with DSMLink versus the AEM.

The stock 2G MAS will not hold him back. The stock 2G throttle body and intake manifold will hold the car back, they are not nearly as good as the 1G stuff, and an aftermarket intake is a decent improvement over both the 1G and 2G intake manifolds. He should look into getting a used 1G TB and a sheetmetal intake manifold like a Magnus, AMS, JM Fab, etc.

What wideband is he running? Most don't read all the way down to 8.8:1 A/F, that is quite rich.

DSMLink should be his first step though, even if he can't do the TB or intake manifold anytime soon.

He needs to avoid any wheelhop in that FWD also, or he might be spitting parts of that Shep tranny on the ground.
