I have also been having a hestition and lack of boost issue. Mines is chipped but it has been feeling like it has been running chipped in lower gears at slower speeds but put the engine under load and there is a lack of boost/power. The response has also been pretty pants too. I first noticed it on the return trip from Alton Towers a few weeks back and have put it down to having to use 95RON unleaded (emergency only to get me to the next decent petrol station!) and the car has been feeling better with a couple of Optimax fillups.
Anyway I got Jim at Star P to check it over and it seems I have two small splits in the hoses. So it's now getting a set of Samcos which should be fit and forget (I hope). Maybe worth getting that checked out especially if nothing shows up with FW or clutch issues.
I also got the MAF cleaned too as the engine management light came on yesterday on the way to work - no doubt this will need replaced soon but I'm looking at getting new tyres and Brembos so it will have to wait as cleaning seems to have worked (for now)
cheers
