But now when I stick the boot into it the car backfires and sends a HUGE smoke screen out the rear, Do I just need a new tune? or is there something more evil going on?

Does it still do it when running on stock tune?

As the boost would have been set a couple more PSI the spark plugs need to be regapped from 1.1mm to 0.75mm or 0.8mm.It happens on a few cars when you raise boost, Skylines do it also and they have to use a hotter or colder spark plug. The tuning shops usually charge about $150 to regap the plugs but if you are handy you can do it yourself.
