What is the code?

It is probably a MAF and gasket leak.

Its going to most likely be an air leak.
Run the motor and spray down you IM and supercharger gaskets with carb cleaner. If it idles up you found your leak.

I say you need a tune if you unsure of what tune you even have. And how do you like your Megan racing exhaust? I have one and didn't like the way it sounded after 4,000 rpm...so I cut the muffle off and put on a magnaflow muffler and oh boy it sounds real aggressive.

I had the same problem when my flex started breaking the second time. Air leaks in ahead of the o2 sensor making the car think it is running lean

Dude, wtf. You want help but have you checked anything that we have told you?
WHAT TUNE IS ON THE CAR? And no, stage 3 is not an answer. What COMPANY or PERSON put the tune on there?
Help us help you.
