Whilst surging can be caused by low fuel pressure due to a failing pump, it seems that the most common cause is faulty boost control allowing excessive boost, so the ecu cuts fuel.  Faulty boost can be caused by a stuck/sticky wastegate, a faulty wastegate actuator or a faulty boost modulator.  If the wastegate is free to move and the actuator diaphragm isn't holed (try sucking on the pressure tube) then bypass the modulator by connecting a tube from the turbo outlet pipe (below the A/C compressor) directly to the wastegate actuator.  This will provide base boost which means it will go as well as a Defender until the modulator is replaced.
