There are chips available for the car but not much in terms of gain, maybe 10-15 HP out of a NA engine.

There are turbo kits available for w202's. I'm not sure on the 4-cyl tho, I know they're available on the 2.8 Inline 6's. Check on google for mosselman (spelling?) turboI believe it is.

I believe the C220 was not offered in the US but was offered in Europe and other places in the world.
