mine kangarooed when the mixture was far too lean, worth a look. Get some brass injectors off ebay, you can get em for just over £50 a set, usually listed under mercedes, but recently the seller has been advertising em for MK1s as well :)

dont give up!  a mk2 8v/16v throttle body is a good upgrade along with the wur as well, some say audi units work too but they're the same size as mk2.  i guess it depends which has the throttle linkage in the best place for the mk1 really!
