Default Bugeye WRX Running Lean

I had my bugeye WRX on a rolling road today and they had to stop the run as it was running dangerously lean.
The car has been modded and remapped. It seems to be running fine.

Any advice on what could be causing this would be appreciated.

Thanks. I will do.

The way I was thinking was that something mechanical must have gone wrong with the car, as surely the original map is OK and cannot change?
Could you tell me what the possibilities are? Fuel leak, MAF, lambda?

inlet pipe leak, fuel pressure regulator faulty, fuel pump faulty, maf faulty..

or it was mapped with a fault that is no longer there like an intercooler pipe leak etc..

Is mapped with a passing VTA dump valve a possibility?

I had some other problems with my VTA passing giving a surging effect and changed it back to standard re-circ.

Thanks for your help Simon.

That gives me a good starting point when I take it to the mapper.
