Are you put any induction kit on yours or any mods without the mapping,if yes then you will need tweak of the map

If you are not put anything,then can be the air leak,dirty MAF etc

Code means the engine is leaner than it wants to be in closed loop. Chances are this is the same in open loop (ie on boost) so I wouldn't be pushing it hard at all until we can map your mods in.
