   Try changing the spark plugs 1st when was it last serviced?If its still doing it after that then change the coil pack.Always go for the cheapest thing 1st.

   First try cleaning your ICV (Idle Control Valve)
   Might be all gunky and horrible, usually does the trick.
   Petrol usually works the best to clean it to,
   Also change coils mate

    Green are pretty good from what i`ve heard,personally though i`m liking induction kits less & less these days,lots of noise not much power gain and they see to use more fuel(waits for the outcry)I think a standard airbox with a k+n in it is better.

    At a guess I would say its running on 3 cylinders hence juddering and no power extremly likly its the coilpack tbh
