What is your air:fuel ratio when it dies?

Please tell us more about your car (i.e. list all modifications):

Which guy? The owner? Is he paying you to work on his Supra?

I agree the maf configuration needs to be changed back to oem - this is a strong suspect as the first troubleshooting step to take. Although an AEM might fix the problem, that's like fixing a cut in your finger by replacing your arm with a robotic prosthetic. A whole AEM setup is $2500+, and this could likely be fixed with a few hours (or less) of troubleshooting with the existing setup.

Actually, the AEM might not give him a great boost of performance. What size of turbo is it?

The coolant temp sensor problem needs to be fixed; it's even needed with the AEM.

Either the Throttle Position Sensor and the Turbo Pressor Sensor could be a part of the stalling problem, so they should be corrected as well.

Troubleshooting steps for these sensors are all in the TSRM (Toyota Supra Repair Manual). If your buddy doesn't already have one for his Supra, he needs to get one.

i've tested the coolant temp sensor & replaced it, and adjusted the TPS only showing 78% of throttle open got it back to 100% the turbo pressure sensor was the one's on the intake and they are gone now
