Honestly, sounds like a crappy tune. I might be able to tell you what's wrong if you post the map, but it has been a LONG time (thankfully) since I have looked at a Wolf.

Most likely your ECU is not tuned properly...worst case senerio you have busted Apex seal :/ ...at what RPM does it backfire and does it let your RPMs climb as it pops? (Dont get worried i doubt its a bad seal if its a fresh rebuild but it is a possibility if they didnt build it right...)
