First thing I'd check is fuel filter. Maybe clogged injectors.

You need to perform (have someone in the know help you) a fuel pressure test, and volume flow test. Injector leak down test.

If the car drives ok, then the filter is not YOUR immediate problem. But a new filter is always a good Idea.

Yes, my n/a did the same exact thing when the injectors were clogged up. I put about a 1/4 cup of laquer thinner in my gas and it cleaned it right up, But that is bad for things inside, Esepcially rubber gaskets, so do it at your own risk. Just get 2 cans of seafoam. Dump 1.5 in the gas and suck the other half can through a vaccum hose. It cleans your motor out quite well.
