Help! Backfire through Exhaust

Sometimes when under WOT, I get this loud explosion that makes you think you blew the mufflers off. Even after letting off, it pops a few times while coasting. I put the car in Neutral as I am rolling, turn the switch off, and recrank. After that, cruising is back to normal.

After a few choice words, I put her back to the floor and soon after full boost is reached the car fell flat on its face and again came the BOOM.

I dont have a scan tool yet but I know fuel pressure is fine. It seems like I have read similar posts and they mentioned ignition components, cam sensor, or crank sensor as the culprit.

Can anyone help me narrow down the possibilities?? Thanks.
 
From your description could be coil pack/module or MAF related. These are required spare parts for owning one of these cars. ;) Put your spares in and try it.

Could also be fuel delivery related.
