I too am interested in an answer as I will be getting a tune at some point for my new to me CDI. I want that EGR gone, it smokes out people any time I downshift and it makes me angry...I have a tuned 603 that doesn't smoke at all!
If you are willing, it seems an upgraded intercooler will allow you to make the most of a tune as the stock one is inadequate for much more than stock power.

As far as I can tell Jeff Robertson (Rocketchip) is still doing tunes. He is first rate and reasonably priced...tuned my 98 E300 number of years ago. BUT you either have to take the car to him OR pull the ECU and send it to him (unless he's changed his approach).
There are some other tuners that provide software to pull the data from the ECU. You send to them, they modify the file, send it back and you upload it.
