do you have an a VTA BOV or Turbo back exhaust or no CAT? You're running rich, probably that's why you're backfiring. Plus if you install an open element filter you need to get it tuned, it will cause drivability issues.

I believe you are right about leaning out w/o tuning. I'd get it flashed and see what happens.

Venting your BOV to atmosphere is causing your engine to run rich when you let off the gas since you're letting out a lot of metered air.

+1
your maf is not designed for a vta bov, hence when you are releasing that built up boost, it is still supplying the engine with fuel for that air being released, causing you to run rich when shifting/venting in general.
