IIRC if the sound is almost Subaru boxer
I was planning to try the OEM ECU and injectors. That way I may get some CEL codes to work with.
Do compression test
check plugs
the start it and pull a coil pack each in turn and replace if engine note does not change coil pack gone
walbro fuel pumps do go bad aswell but unlikly if running
if it's still bad then like you say go for the oem stuff hope u sort it as I know what it's like to have ****ed engine

I'd guess you have lost a cylinder Steven. Probably and injector gone bad / coil pack / AEM driver / spark plug.
Noise from behind you is just the odd 3 cylinder pulse. Losing a cylinder is a prety destinctive and nasty sound on a 4 pot!
Either that or a major air leak.

I have seen so much vibration only in an engine which has lost a cylinder. Spark plag, injector or coil plug is the reason like MB said
I'm guessing a you're only running on 3 cylinders too
As Phil says, pull coil packs/injectors one at a time. If you pull one and nothing changes then chances are it's that one that's gone.
If it's the coil pack let me know, I've some spares

Should I be pulling the coil packs/injectors with the car running.
I have been having a play but it seems to go from rough to very rough but pulling the injectors don't seem to give the same results as pulling the coil packs
