This has been discussed a bit in the past...currently Upsolute is a good deal for the $ ($400). A few people have used these chips with good results.

I'm about to ask a question in which I may get plenty of snickers and pointing fingers. But, alas, I want to know the answer..

Where does this ECU Chip go? Which computer unit? Where is the unit located on a '96 C-class (220)? I'm willing to do just about anything to give my poor 2.2ltr more pep up here in the thin Denver air.

The ECU is located in the front under the hood along with all your electricals (rear left toward the windshield if you're looking under the hood from the front). Unfortunately, chipping a NA car will not produce great results. The chip will only be remapping your ECU settings by adjusting the A/F mixture. Your better off installing a turbo for you C220.
