I would suggest trying to get it to PowerItalia, a specialist like Roger will never be stumped by this. Seeing you are in Kent, he is not too far away.

Simple process of elimination if you have the car in the garage.

^as above, these sort of problems can be a headache.

Have they replaced the spark plugs and checked the coils? Sounds very much like an ignition issue.

Unplug your maf and see how it runs. If it's better then it's either air leak or faulty maf. Bare in mind it may take a few mins to sort it's self out while u plugged

How's the battery?
My last coupe was a right dog when the battery was damaged by a failing alternator.

Sounds like the MAF to me. As said above, unplug the MAF, it will revert to a fixed map.
