Welcome to FTE Savagesie.
The chipped turbo you mention won't cause the idle surge, but I would definately start saving some money to fix it.
On the idle; when was the last time the oil was changed and what kind was put in?
The Powerstroke engine uses engine oil to drive the injectors and it's very finicky about how clean the oil is and what kind is used.

From what I can see, this does not sound like the romps. When you have the romps, you know it. Let us know how the ICP works out. Seems that may be the fix since unplugging it smoothed it out. Good luck.
