weird cars running beautifully, just that issue im not sure , can it be the OMP pushing to much oil ? cause i wouldnt mind ripping it out, block off plate and pre-mixing
backfiring can be caused by either too much fuel in the exhaust(rich maps) or a lean decel issue.
if the smoke is white or grey it is likely unrelated to the backfiring and an oil restrictor issue in your turbo oil feed system. a little smoke is fine if you're pushing the turbo hard but 10 seconds worth is excessive.

gotcha! thanks for the fast replies also, might it be a blown apex seal, i doubt it but can it be a possibility ? also im sorry for shooting you with so many questions , me and my dad relocated the battery to the trunk but for some reason , the car keeps stalling the only way i can keep it from stalling is stepping on the gas abit, i before the car stalls i had a voltage meter and it read 11.7 from the power fc and 11.6-11.8 on the volt meter, and when we rev it and hold it at or over a bit 1k rpm's the alternator starts to charge and it goes too 14.6ish
could be a blown seal if it is having idle issues as well. try a compression test on it before worrying about anything else. a new map won't fix the smoke/backfiring issue if the engine has a bad seal.

just did the apex seal test it runs good so it aint an apex seal, now the alternator is the only issue why its just stalling and not charging at idle
was in the process of doing it to be sure, did some reading while you replied and everything seems to turn right no grinding , or WOOOh WOOOh sounds
