on my 91T. The surging you decribe sounds like normal boost cut back due to detonation. Although I am unsure of the source of electronic upgrades in the car, but it was acting very similarly, and only after several additional changes do I now nail the boost gauge past the red until about 3k rpm when it tapers down to the red/orange line(I know I need a bigger turbo). You need more fuel, I went with 40lb/hr Accel injectors. Check your DI cartridge for oil leaks, if it hasn't been updated it probably needs to be. New "7" series plugs gapped at 1mm. All your vacuum lines should be checked, or replaced, you would be amazed how much can leak out a small line. And your blow off valve should also be checked/replaced.
