I suspect either a fueling or ignition problem somewhere.

i paid £60 for a good second hand one, they sell them on ebay, but you are better looking on the for sale secion on here less chance of getting ripped off. im no expert but if your running mfi its a good chance its the metering head.

Yeah it does sound lean, I would get the fuelling and timing setup asap or you may find you'll have a dead engine soon.

Mate you really should get it tuned now by someone who know's mfi, as the on boost fueling may be way out!
