Default 83 300sd intercooler

Hi, I've heard that one way to increase performance on the 83 300sd was by adding an intercooler, but which size is appropriate? I'm not expecting "sports"car performance I just want to have a little more confidence when pulling into traffic...is the benefit noticable? Thanks

By adding fuel and boost, do mean adjusting the amount of fuel that goes into the engine? I haven't done this yet, but mechanic offered to do it, just decided to wait on the intercooler... well I don't know anything, so what are your suggestions for icreasing fuel and boost?

Thanks for the much needed advice.... I have one other question... the plastic fuel filter was clogged and I replaced it last week, but it looks really dirty again, How can I clean these sediments in the tank? do I just keep replacing the filters (kinda inexpensive) or siphon the tank and filter the diesel?
