With the non turbo model it will be hard to gain huge performance from a diesel. You can try a chip from several places like kleeman or powerchip however many of us have choosen a cheaper alternative with good results from speedtuningusa however i believe you can only gain about 15 hp from the non turbo engine. You can also try a green performance filter some have had problems with k&n being over oiled causing problems with the maf. You should also run some diesel purge to clean out the system and a bottle powerservice diesel kleen will help even more for regular fill ups Just some ideas

The answer is basically no. Mercedes has a great intake system unlike many domestic cars and it's hard to improve on the design. With the air filter upgrade your looking at probably a +3hp at the crank it's mostly going to be placebo but it may give you better throttle response. Chip is probably going to be your best bet.

The EGR is on the start of the metal intake. Remove the exhaust end from the exhaust manifold. Make a stainless steel disc or cover the hole on the exhaust end. Put an air filter on the end of the EGR tube.
This will fool the airflow sensor into thinking it's still working.

Save your money
That thing is just going to be a road turtle no matter what you do.
Save your money and put it toward a fun car, use the E300 for highway trips, etc where fuel economy matters.
That E300 is a purpose built machine. The purpose is a big, safe, fuel efficient car. It just isn't gonna go any faster.

You can make the exhaust block yourself with some 1/16" tin and metal snips. The air filter can be found at most any place that sells lawn mower filters. I don't know the exact diameter of the tube, you'll have to measure it.

After 1976 the only time an intake flat is used is to increase intake vacuum to draw more exhaust gasses through the EGR valve.

Should I leave this flap functional since I'll be getting filtered fresh air in through the EGR?
Thanks
