How about listing your mods so we can get an idea of what might be the problem. Also, how did you determine that it's running lean? Lastly, be sure to include how much boost you are running.

A vague answer (since you didn't give us much information to work with) is to add more fuel and/or run less boost.

if the exhaust smells and burns your eyes, its more likely you are running rich.

I agree with joed but no one can help you unless you help us by listing mods, boost, etc.
