Can it come from the MAF sensor?
What else could it be coming from?
Please help !

Yes, it does come from the MAF, 100%. By the way, mélange trop pauvre is "mixture too lean" in english

Thanks, i hope you're 100% right
Another thing is that when i do a reset on the ECU. before it falls to 7psi, i find back a boost pressure, but never more than 14psi instead of the 20psi i should have with my reprogrammed ECU.
Will i really get 20psi after the changing of the MAF?

I don't know who has programmed your ECU or how he has programmed it, so I can't tell you if this behavior is normal or not...
Lean mixture codes are 100% from faulty MAFs on 2.7T engines...
