03 c320 mod progression

I just purchased an 03 c320 with eighty four thousand miles and I'm going to be making mods to it over the next few months. Im Planning on starting with mostly performance mods so I suppose my car is going to end up being a sleeper by the time Im ready to start upgrading cosmetic wise. I got this car about two weeks ago and it was in excellent condition besides some scrapes on the front bumper and I needed a tire balance which I did recently.
Here is the order of events as Im planning them: 1. Im getting the secondary cats out and swapping in a AMG muffler sometime in the next three weeks. 2. Im probably going to get a dyno tune in about the same time frame. 3. Im also looking to turbo although Im not sure when the money will be available for that particular step.

Sadly not to many performance mods that are cost effective. Tune is nice but make sure you get a good one. As for the turbos that will be interesting if you go through with it but not cheap.
