Performance upgrades('93 190e)

Hey, Im new to the forum, and all of you seem to be pretty experienced.
I'm looking to do some smaller performance upgrades on my 190e, and im thinking of doing a new air intake, and performance chip(computer tuning).
If any of you know about what brand or make of the air intake or performance chip is best, and how much i can get them for, along with any other ideas for engine performance, it would be greatly appreciated.

Patrick

already good intake

So the 103 or the four cylinder already has a cold air intake right? K & N filters are supposed to allow better air flow, but I'm not convinced after racing for years. I rec just changing the factory air filter per factory schedule.

I had a K&N for a while, I didn't like how much dirt I found in the intake

the current intake on a 190e is better than any "cold air intake" you could ever put on. no such thing as computer chip
