So... I found out the problem. I found some time to start tearing into my 
supra... didn't have to go too far... The spark plugs were messed up... 
reeeeally messed up. They were NGK Iridiums. They were ashed to the point 
were they wouldn't spark at high rpm. I replaced them with Bosch platinums 
and now she runs OK... She is still hesitating during boost. and she pops 
more often. I checked codes and it never spat any out. I checked all the 
hoses and they are just fine, i even replaced a few just in case. Any 
suggestion on a good spark plug?

  Also, did you replace the wires at the same time? And did you use crap wires?
  General rule of thumb, as I said previously: Toyota prats. I found this out the hard way, stuck by the side of the road in freezing rain because I used aftermarket junk. Never used anything but Toyota again.

  But, when I did a tune up on my Supra, I did get NGK wires. MGK and Denso are OEM for Toyotas, so they shouldn't be bad. Got them on E-Bay for $56.

  Cold start injector is only powered when the starter is cranking, so I 
doubt its your problem.
I would check the ECU temperature sensor in the thermostat housing.

For the "putting" problem, have you checked for any codes? It sounds to me 
like it could be a boost leak from a cracked hose somewhere in the 
intercooler plumbing. A very common failure is the hose attached to the 
turbo compressor output. It sits under the exhaust manifold and is very 
hard to see/check without removing the 'accordion' hose.

Even with new rebuilt turbo, and relatively new rebuild on engine I think 
the cold start injector stays engaged a bit long rough idle and black 
smoke) when I don't allow 5 minutes of warm up before boosting. Runs 
terribly rich when I boost out of the parking lot after work at 40 degrees 
(it's winter in Atlanta) but after war up all is normal....

I took my 87 supra out the other day. Went about 8 miles and parked it at 
the store. I came out, started her up and started to leave. As soon as 
pulled out into the street and gave it some gas she just putted rapidly 
until I got over 3000 rpms. Shifted into 2nd and she did the same thing. 
She runs fine when its in high rpms. Then she putts when I boost anything 
over 5 lbs. I know the turbo was going out but would that effect the car 
at low rpms? She also has a rough idle. During idle it will miss here and 
there. Its not a steady miss though.

Any idea what it may be?
