ok, been a while so another update:
car is running good, although it wasnt at first. as it turns out cyl #3's injector was not firing. when i pulled the plugs in an attempt to read them the #3 still looked brand new while the others looked normal. Tested for spark and it was a go, pulled the injector plug and the inner purpley thing that holds the wire pig tales apart was broken apart. There was another unused plug i noticed when i pulled the motor that i tracked down and removed to harvest the broken part from. it was difficult to remove the wires from the piece but they came out with minimal damage to the part it needed. Here is a photo of the doner plug with the broken piece from the injector plug.

now the car is running much better now that is on all 5 again

pulls pretty well although i am not getting on it much as the bottom end is still in 'break in' mode.i changed the oil after the first 5 min or so of run time then again tonite after about 80 miles or so. All in all im glad to have it back on the road again, although it may be going up for sale soon as i need a new roof on my house, and the audi is the first on the list of things to be liquidated, id really rather not sell as soon as it is back on the road but time will tell.....
