Surging, turbo not regulating??? Help

I'm still around. Haven't been lurking here in a while as I bought a four letter word to drive and been working on a tone of other projects. The benz has been more dependable by far so don't give up.

I do have a problem that's cropped up. The benz is 1982 300 turbo diesel with about 145k. The problem seems to be with the waste gate or the regulation of the turbo boost pressures remaining steady, so it feels like it's surging while cruising or going up hill. Almost feels like it's starving for fuel but that's not the case.

Anyone else have an issue like this that's been solved?
