If its breaking traction coming on boost then a different map may tame that.

You running an LSD?

Ease of the throttle a tad? It isn't a on/off switch

Good suggestion from Ian. I am no mapping expert but I would have thought a less aggressive map with more linear power delivery would help. Wether that is possible on your setup with that engine I dont know.

a lsd will help,
proper drag tyres, M.T's for example,
in gear boost control
so you can have low boost setting for 1st and 2nd?

failing that don't press the loud peddle to hard.
