Make sure you have the ITBs balanced well. Follow Clay's guide to getting them balanced. The next thing is to datalog and review what is happening to your AFRs ...backfires thru the stacks typically indicate,,unbalanced ITBs, bad timing and/or lean conditions...while popping thru thru the exhaust is often a rich condition.
MAP readings are in kPa and not in % and can be higher with ITBs than common plenum.

Thanks Al - I'll try that. I did set the ITB's up according to Clay's guide, and it runs quite well. It seems that MAP is way over 100, which may in part explain why my tune is somewhat off. At idle I'm seing MAP 40-60, whereas with plenum it was more like 20-40. So my initial AFR ratios are currently not correct.
