mine did this for a while i found the maf was covered in crap,give it a good clean when i fitted the ngk7's it now runs sweet as a nut.
might not be your problem but worth a shot also check for air leaks on pipes/manifold gaskets

That sounds like a MAF problem. What model year is the car mate? If it's 99/00 do not try and clean it, replace it asap!

Any maf problems should be rectified asap, and the car should not be driven on boost till they are; a dodgy maf can break an engine very quickly!
