lol nice description.
yeah, chances are that's a backfire, as i'm assuming you're not rerouting the ssqv back to the intake.
when you vent to atmosphere, the ecu goes rich for a moment to deal with the extra air normally dumped into the intake tube from the stock bpv, and the car goes real rich to compensate for said "air" that is no longer there.

I too have backfire because of my SSQV...don't worry about it, its actually safe...it just gives you bad gas mileage because of the "richness" just like what supra90turbo said. I kinda like the sound of backfire, it makes your car sound more intimidating. :naughty:

Im not saying that it is dangerous, but it can and does destroy things like exhaust systems, turbo's, ect.....
