    Violent pop as comes into boost

    3 bar 5.3 single turbo cam. 15lbs and 14 degrees timing but it pops as it comes into boost. Definitely out exhaust.

    I can't look at the tune/log on this computer but

    sounds like simple spark blow out. You running a tight gap on a TR6 or 7? is it iridium?
    Does it clear up?
    Did this just start recently? Or are you new to the engine/tuning?
    Is this on 93 octane? Methanol? E85?
    Altitude?

    Need more info when ppl come to look at the log, because they won't know if this is the first time for example, if the problem is new or not, makes a huge difference.

    What the actual AF ratio on your wideband? Just by looking at the mV output from the stock sensors, it appears to be very rich...over 950mV!
    And...just like kingtalon asked...do you have the proper spark plug? An NGK TR7 gapped at 0.025" would be a great start.
