Default got to meet my 928S for first time and a question

Having not seen my new purchase I finally got to meet her in the flesh a couple of weeks ago. Finally got it running after a top up with 98 octane and some fuel conditioner and now she starts and idles sweetly. It will rev once warm under steady throttle but once under load it dies. I am yet to take care of service items but was hoping there might be some indicators as to what it may be before I bring parts from the USA. As it was in storage for 6 years I am thinking fuel filters?
Now that the AUD exchange rate is crap I am wanting to avoid doing too many random deliveries.
Help greatly appreciated

Fuel filters for sure. Plugs, wires..... After 6 years she needs some love... Oil change, air filter, coolant flush.....

Which car did you buy Aussie? And where are you located in Perth? Bet you bought the red one with the S4 boot spoiler and wheels.

Model year and other details are needed, but the last thing I would do with any 928 is flush 5 year old fuel through the injection system instead of draining the tank and cleaning it. A 928 has two fuel filters, a cheap easy to replace one by the tank, and a very expensive one comprised of the rest of the injection system up front.
