Car is running terribly lean, what could be the cause?
Injectors, fuel pump, fuel filter, FPR are my only guesses as to why the car is running so bad.
The WB02 gauge was registering no higher than 16:1 when I limped it home from a friends house. Nothing change when it got into boost, so I quickly backed off. Car drove absolutely fine yesterday.
FPR maybe? I feel like if it were primary injectors, things would get better once the secondary set came online. Would a all of a sudden clogged fuel filter be an issue?
The car idled fine, its once it got under load that it ran like crap.

A clogged filter could cause this, and is pretty simple to diagnose, make sure you check the sock on the fuel pump as well as inspect/replace the filter in the engine bay.
Or.....what happened to me was the line that connects the fuel pump to the hard lines had developed a crack, and was leaking fuel. It would start up fine, but as soon as u tried to increase the load, it would go leaner and leaner until it died.
