I have tried several times to fix a very similar issue with mine. With no luck so far.

I have a pressure type wastegate actuator on the bench now. After replacing quite a few known faulty parts (1 transducer, EGR valve that leaked, leaking flap actuator), I realized that the flap in the Mass Air Flow sensor gives a discontinous signal when I play with it by hand. So I would need to replace that part which I have not even asked for the price.

The very last thing I will try before I go gsxr route is to lock the MAF sensor flap in the WOT, max RPM, fully opened position with a metal screw. No idea what EDS will think.

If that ain't work, I'll be in for a major job of pulling the turbo from the hole, rusty studs to play with, lots of fun ahead. It's hard to believe what I'd do to get this car working good. One simply has to try full time vacuum to the wastegate actuator to confirm the great power this motor has hidden behind that mysterious EDS prison!

Good luck anyway!
