Default car shoots under heavy load

when i drive my car under full load there was 2 time a shot like a gun.the car is fine and everything is o.k. but is this the ignition that makes the fuel in my exaust explode?i ve never heard before my car shooting and i ve nothing changed.
i have a b16a turbo with msd ignition.

Thats just means your runnign rich on heavy load. No biggie. The un-burnt gas is ignited in your exhaust system. If you have an adjustable fpr all you have to do is turn downt he psi of fuel just a little bit. You do not want to turn it down too much, you want to run a little rich rather then a little lean.

of course a standalone is always better, but if you tune what you have now to work... then dont worry about it.

I would check your plugs and make sure you didn't blow off the tip. That also happens when you have incorrect spark plug gapping. Make sure your getting good contacts with your wires,cap, and plugs. Another thing that can cause that is oil tracking in your intake, thats when preignition occurs before the combustion chamber.

sorry my english is pretty poor,what you mean with oil tracking in my intake,do you mean oil from the turbo.the shot was two times. first in second gear at 7000rpm and the oher was in third also at 7000 rpm.
