How do I get another 20-30hp from my 87 190D NA

I like the car but it is just too slow. If I could get a reasonable power increase for a reasonable amount of money I could live with the car for quite a while. bearing in mind that there is no turbo. I have thought of trying to locate a complete 2.5 turbo setup with IP and all but so far have found nothing. Anyone have any direct knowledge of where one can be found. Short of that what other steps can be taken to get some more oomph. Can the IP be tweaked significantly or the injectors. I get absolutely no black smoke now at all, ever. This leads me to conclude that there is at least some power to be had by changing the settings of the IP. Am I wasting my time looking or are there sources I could get some info from. Enlighten me. Cheers Dan
