Old t2 not runnin right, help!

Heya~ I've had my 87 t2 stored away for the last 3 years as I was out of the country. I got back and decided to see if it would still run. I flushed and filled the oil, coolant, brake and clutch fluids in case. I started her up, and she turned over and idles alright, besides thick clouds of white smoke.
Here's the problem, when I apply throttle, the revving is kinda rough, but then on abrupt throttle opening, the revving cuts and tries to turn off. Generally most rough around 4.5-5k rpm, and won't go above. If throttle is held full upen, the car seems to choke, fart, and spit some flames. Any idea what this might be? And what I might have to do or try? Or am I just plain SOL?
It's an 87t2, street port, lil hybrid turbo, 3" down and straight thru, and running microtech
Anything at all would be quite appreciated! Cheers~
