Backfire on shift
If I get on the Miata real, real hard, I've noticed I can trigger backfire if I shift fast after I switched to a MS3.
Is this something I need to worry about/potentially damaging, or can I leave it as is?

Do you maybe have a launch control setup on? Mine will pop if i don't clutch>release gas fast enough on some rare occasions. But it makes me sound cool when i'm yoloing so i keep it.
I don't think my turbo likes it though.

Wait is it a back fire or popping from the exhaust. A backfire is baaaaaaddddd on a turbo car, that **** will eat the compressor wheel. Popping from the exhaust is no biggy, it means there's hot unburnt fuel in the exhaust and that you're introducing enough clean air for it to light off, probably from decel cut or from a pinhole in the downpipe area.
