Looking very nice, Copperleaf is a lovely colour.

Have a look at the bottom of the intercooler hose at the front passenger side of the engine bay. If it has a misting of oil at the bottom, you need new intercooler o-ring seals (£4.50 from Jules). When they're perished, they give symptoms very similar to a dead MAF sensor, lack of power at low revs and inconsistent boosting.
