Default Cossie problem, been set up...

Hi, got a problem with my saph cossie, has been there even since the engine has been rebuilt although seems to be getting worse now when the engine is hot, its just stage 1 and has done just over 1000 miles since rebuild and has been set up by Mark Shead at m a developments, who did a great job and said the car was all fine, but it did not play up on him then, when it gets around 2000rpm just under normal light driving it holds back, spits almost like its going to cut out, then its ok again. Drive it hard and it seems ok, just at lower revs its really anoying as the car almost kangaroos for a second or two then settles down. I know its probably a long shot but any ideas would be great...

Cheers Matt.
