In the U.S. 124s, the OM603 (1987s) used a simple pressure waste gate
The OM602 (1990-1993) and the OM606 (1995) used the vacuum waste gate
There is a popular thread on this forum for converting the vacuum waste gate to the pressure waste gate. But as Evan says, this won't work on the OM606.962 on the W210 due to it throwing codes when the boost does not change when commanded by the ECU.
Wastegate actuator swap for OM602.962?
