Anyhow - was coming off a roundabout de-acelerating coasting up to the lights - the rev's suddendly drop and come back on again - the car idle's no problem at lights....
i drive off and get to about 25Mph and the car starts violently backfireing as in like a shot gun going off

i popped bonnet and all seemed ok - i try to start her and she's fires up and runs spot on not a problem
![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
i set off home in her and the same happens 5 mins down the road
![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
then it runs totally fine again - ARRRRGHHHHHH
Any clues chaps?
and please keep things basic as im not clued up on the CVH Turbo engine at all

if its running high boost on a standard chip then it could be overboosting. mine was temperamental when it wanted to play up! and that gives a violent back fire!
