Would it take a lot of money to make the 2nd gen turbo into a 5 second car? What are some common addons that people do to get it faster (other than intake and hot wires and spark plugs)

tune-up (oil/filter change, coolant flush, compression check)
cold air intake (or just a k&n drop-in for a cheaper a slightly smaller increase in power)
cat-back exhaust (rs-r makes a good unit)
boost gauge
with those mods you should gain about 20-30whp (stock whp of 145-155)...with the cat-back offering the majority of that power gain...a down-pipe, slightly larger turbo, ebc (electronic boost controller), and other increasingly more costly mods can be added to increase your performance into the 11 second 1/4mile range and easily break 5 seconds 0-60.
your friends 98 comaro shouldn't be much faster than a stock mr2 turbo...when new the mr2 turbo actually kept up with the current corvette and the ferarri f348 (or maybe 328...I'm not a huge fan of them anymore...)...with a few mods you should be able to beat him even if he has a v8.
