One or several of the following: Poor idle, car stalling/threatening to stall at junctions, hesitation at about 4k rpm, if the car suddenly seems noticably more pokey
if you ignore it........knackered engine!
Any doubt drive off boost and get it checked out. 2 min job for a garage withe the right software. Prob free of charge or cost ya a pint or two!

Any dodgy idling should be investigated by a specialist; it cold be the maf and, given the consequences if it does go, its better to eliminate it as the cause early on. The check takes 5 mins and will often be done free of charge. Circa 80 quid for a new maf, if needed. Drive the car off boost till then.
