re calibrate wideband?
check plugs to see if you really are running that lean?
if you are running that lean you better stay out of boost, unless you want some new pistons.

Intake leak? Did you check your fuel pressure? That could be low and cause that too. Are you running a SD tune?

If I can get a gauge on it tomorrow. Where should I be at idle and on up. Just connect to the valve on the rail?

I usually 58 to 60 psi at idle, also check for a burn spark plug cable or a bad 02 sensor

Yea just connect the fuel pressure gauge to the schrader valve on the fuel rail cross over. If your wideband has to be re-calibrated I know mine says to do it every 2-3 months.
