Is the fpr a boost sensetive one? Cuz I've known of people using a boost sensitive fpr without the fmu, and working good. Otherwise, that could be causing the lean condition, if it is only vacuum responsive.

Have you tried maybe electronically tuning the car to get rid of it?

You run 24lb injectors with no fmu are you wonder why its lean?? You NEED 42's and then a tune.
