Default CEL and limppinggg

soo my car has been going into limp mode often now, and now it decided to throw me a cel light. whats bugging me is its going into limp mode while im cruising around 80 on the freeway. im not even on it. my best guess is a bad n75 valve causing overboosting (even tho im only hitting 16 psi). any thoughts? also...where can i go to get a free vagcom?

P0171 = system too lean, bank 1

possible causes are intake/exhaust leak, AIR system, MAF sensor, fuel pressure/pump, injector(s) leak, O2 sensor #1

ill take a shot at it being either the MAF or vacuum pipe leak
