If it is a tuned PCM you may be able to talk to Craig or Brett on the forum who are in contact with Steve at Oztrack. All depending on the OS installed in the computer.

If you think it is more of a mechanial thing to be honest I take mine to Motors and have no issues, but I am sure they are far from the cheapest around to look at a problem.

Hey mate, do you get any backfiring at all?

Could be an o2 problem, could be the crank angle sensor.

There's your problem, do your self a favour and contact Craig Seaton (chv 408) he will fix it for you. No real offence to frizz (yes I know him well ) but I believe he is a bit over his head with newer stuff imo.
