Get the codes read, it may be plug/coil failure and it's now logging a misfire code.
Worth checking the plugs
Although it could be anything...are there any nasty noises ?????

I'll happily read the codes and give is a once over, but you would need come over this way.....

Sounds like MAF if idle is OK, if when you drive slow it's OK, then just drive slow, keep boost below 0psi and rpm below about 3000-3500rpm.
This will keep you running off the Lambda fuelling rather then the MAF.

I can pop out to Tony's when you arrive and take a look before he takes it apart. Send us a Txt when you leave home and again when you are close.
I'm only 10 mins down road and have nothing planned, especially if its raining.
