Bluetec mods?

I am considering buying a 2008 E320 Bluetec and was wondering if there are any bolt on mods or tunes for better performance. Best bang for your buck.

Handful. Get it tuned, that is the biggest bump in power.

I used Rocketchip because he is local. Someone else used Green Diesel Engineering.

I just (last weekend) had the Malone 1.5 tune done to my 2014 Jetta Sportwagen TDI and it made a significant difference in power and seems to have increased the fuel mileage also (but I haven't put enough miles on it with the tune to confirm that). I couldn't find a Malone tune for the MV 350 Blutec, but if I do I'll certainly have it installed on our Mercedes.

Do you have any suggestions for buying a Malone? I see it is available for my E350. SHould I go through Malone directly? Sorry, I am new to the tuning piece of things...

On my Sportwagen I went through someone who deals strictly with VW turbo diesels, so I really don't have any suggestions for where to get a Malone tune for your MB. Hopefully someone else on this forum will know.
