IF you have an EGR on your model, plug it with something...
then
THINK about learning how to check the timing on the Injection Pump [ " IP " ].
Just as with a GAS engine, you can sacrifice a little fuel economy and obtain a little more "spunk". With my 1980 240D I lost ~2 mpg but gained noticeable improvement in accelleration... but lost a little top-end speed.
