Check the compression, you probably don't have enough of it. You need a minimum of 125psi to get things started with difficulty. If the car sat outside, rust has formed on the cylinder walls and valve stems.

ok, got it runnin, woohoo, but it just doesnt have any go to it, i dunno if its because i made a drastic change in power from my last car to this one or if the car is actually that slow. Btw my cylinders have about 165 psi in the cylinders, but had replace ignition system and adjust the plate in the airflow meter thing in the intake. And does anyone know where i can get a turbo for this P.O.S.?

Don't get carried away, you will be better off getting a complete 5000 Turbo then going through the hassle of installing everything.

installing isnt a problem unless its more involved then puttin a turbo in a japanese car, if i can get the turbo thats ment for this car that would be awsome but i just dont know where to get one. if anyone had any suggstions on anything that can be done to this car either a turbo or a air bag suspension kit, or actully anythig, that wuld be great. thanx

If you are talking about something like a turbo kit for a Honda Civic then there is nothing like it for the Audi 5000. You will need to find a donor car on ebay, junkyard, local classifies, and transfer all the parts.
