We had a very similar issue with our TF. Bit of a lumpy idle, strong smell from the fumes, would often cut out and struggle to restart. You'd pull out of a junction, foot hard down on the accelerator and there'd be no power, followed by some jolting before power finally restored. Would only do it whilst cold, once warmed up it would be fine.

Had it plugged into a t4 which showed an issue with the lambda sensor, cam sensor and coil packs/leads. Had those bits replaced and it's been running perfectly since.
