try the fuel filter. if it has been stored that long there can be a lot of gunk, water in the filter that when it gets sucked in the injectors causes the misfire.

Bad MAS/MAF or bad plug wires.

See if you can find one from a good running car and swap it in.

UPDATE:

have not had a chance to start the car and check if it's any better yet tho...its out of fuel...

found a new connector for the injector and spliced it in, also added more fuel to the tank...(since it ran out.....again...)

running better can actually get it to boost now...but it still surges ridiculously..
after it warms up if its in gear and u hold the throttle steady it FEELS like u floor it then let go, then floor it then let go, and so on...

ps...heres the link to my starquestclub.com thread about it....(if anybody is in anyway interested..)

^^I figured it'd be a possibility, but u'd think it'd make a sound when im under the hood and my face is inches away from the engine...it doesnt..it just rolls the idle and surges

I still have to go back out and work on it when theres time...hopefully sometime this next week i got a guy who's gonna(hopefully) help me some..he used to work at a shop back in the day when they were "common" and redid/upgraded/tuned turbos on tsis and supras among others...
