If the fuel pump has lost it's pressure or the injectors have blocked then a shortage of fuel can cause the leaness..

I'd get the injectors checked, fuel pump pressure and voltage test, could one or two of the oxygen sensors or a screwed MAF sensor..
If you get bluefin plug it in and see if there are any DTC fault codes

Got to be something wrong with either the fuel pump, injectors, oxygen sensors and MAF sensor then..

Try to avoid driving it and if you do have to use it keep cruise at 2000rpm to avoid coming on boost.

Where are you based?

If you have an induction kit/aftermarket filter my first guess will be the MAF. Give it a good spray inside with carb cleaner (engine off) and let it dry.
