Problem when hitting 10psi, car seems to rapidly backfire
I have a 93 with a greddy turbo, rx7 intercooler, walbro 190, 02 clamp, 1.8 injectors, bipes, vortec fpr, dual exaust with no cat. Once I hit full boost I get what sounds like it backfiring very rapidly and my acceleration is pretty much gone. Any thoughts, it has been doing this for a few weeks and I can't figure out what's wrong. My first through was that it was rich, any thoughts.

What is your base spark set at?

too many variables...
it's possible if with the 190 lph fuel pump and the 12:1 were used in conjunction, that it could be overloaded with fuel, and the backfires are the result of raw fuel making its way into the exhaust.

Without a wideband you don't have some of the most important information needed to diagnose the problem. It is likely caused by a rich or lean condition but you have no way to know which. With that information it would give you some idea of the source of your problem. It will then help you in making adjustments to your system and make sure things are still safe. It's a $200-$300 investment that will help you tune your system and possibly save your motor.

I vote over rich... I run a simular setup, with wideband... before with the 12.1 disk in the vortec.. afr would be damn near 9.5 -10 on WOT runs... this is running 9 psi... i havnt pushed my setup to 10 psi but want to when MS goes in...
When i would get near 10 rich...it would bog, loose and not pull like you thought it would... lightened the disk in the vortec to the 8 or 6 i dont remmeber.. and now 11.5-12 at WOT.
Have someone "follow you" are you sending massive ammounts of smoke Light colored out the tail? Does it smell alot like fuel? etc...
I would doubt spark blowout... are those backfires LEAN conditions? and your hearing detonation?
Just my thoughts
Goodluck
