Default 85 928 hunting idle and engine stalls

poor idle engine stalls when throttle is depressed. car sat for 10+ years, i have replaced caps, rotors, wires and plugs. i also drained fuel tank and put in new fuel. car runs a little better but its not running how its supposed to. i have also checked fuel regulators they hold vacuum and fuel pressure is 57 psi to the first regulator from fuel pump.. where should i go from here?

You did change the Fuel Filter too, right ?
Is this a US spec 32v (S3) or a ROW 16v ?

injectors probably need cleaning, balancing after sitting for 10 yrs.. Search here for recommendations on who does this. I would think you should flush the lines. And probably replace the rubber lines. I'm guessing whoever let it sit that long did not change the lines from original.
