Do you have a cat bypass / decatted exhaust? Very common on decats. My exhaust (which isn't decat - it's a Milltek with high flow cat) occasionally pops when I put my foot down and then suddenly let off the power. It's just the waste exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust at different rates (I'm sure someone on here has a better explanation!) Nothing to worry about I'd have thought. If you are running big power as you may with a sc then build up of gasses can develop and are let out when you go down a gear as you let off the power temporarily - some extreme high power cars even get flames during the downshift process.

What likes the Dizzy Cap and arm though, are they new? have you removed them and repeated the process above... It also sounds like a temp sender has gone... like the blue one (I think) on the thermostat housing rail...has it been vag.commed recently?? just a thought...
