The FIRST thing I would suggest, before ANYONE who does not know much about forced induction, is to learn about it, before you start to tinker with your car. 
Do web searches, get Corky Bells book on Turbos, and FI, ECT ECT. If your armed with that knowledge, tuning your msp to a real street weapon is not hard.

With drag radials, that's a good recipe for 12s. 112mph+ traps atleast.

Just because the MSP has a turbo, does not mean it capable of producing mad WHP from the factory, with a few upgrades. If your looking into getting close to mid 13's, again suggest educationg yourself on the basics of forced induction, and how to properly tune for it.
Ask the guys with turboed MP3's how hard it is to tune the car. A few have blown 1 or even 2 engines. You cant just go turning up the boost, adding an intake and exhaust, and not monitor your engines doings. You gotta monitor, and tune, to meet the requirements for safe whp gains. This means, possible fuel managment, and timing managment. Possible upgrade to fuel delivery.
Also, with the added power, you will have added heat, you need to upgrade to compensate for this. IE: New radiator, lower pressure thermostat, higher pressure rad cap, more efficient fans, possible oil cooler, and FMIC upgrade.
Basically, if you have the money, knowledge, and know where to get the parts, you can have an easily 250 whp MSP.

high 12s would be in the range with this, not high 13's1st MP3 in NH said:
But yea,LEARN ABOUT TUNING TURBOS, or get someone locally who does to help.
Main things to keep in mind:
Boost Controller.
Exhaust- full turboback 2.5 or 3in is best.
FMIC,or upgrading the stock i/c pipes
upgraded turbo inlet: AKA CAI.
With just this a few people have been hitting consistently low 14s, and high 13's...

someone posted track time of 13.99 with i/e and boost controller. Total money spent was about 500 bucks...
I think his exhaust was turbo back, manual boost controller, and some sorta intake... i'll do a search and post it if i can find it..
here ya go:
