Sounds like coil pack or plugs just from that?

well wen driving normal its fine it doesnt splutter or anything, jus wen u put it under pressure wen u hit the turbo seems like there isnt enough fuel gettin through. if the coil pack is knackerd it wud run lumpy all the time wudnt it? cheers

 

[MJ]

could be an issue with the plugs then, when was the fuel filter last changed?

Or try disconnecting the maf and giving it a run.

When My Ibiza Cupra did that it was the plugs, they were failing when you put them under load

There's 4 coil packs mate, dont just guess either have a diagnostic check and replace accordingly or just do the plugs and see how it goes.

£25-30 each and the genuine platnium plugs are about £40 a set.
