If it's a diesel engine, could be a bad injector or injectors. Dumping unburned fuel into the exhaust and burning.

Is it a turbo engine is it popping at high rpm or under load
if so it's possible when tipped loss of oil pressure starved turbo to load bearings witch can cause compressor wheel to come loose and cause a backfire in pipe at higher rpm or load so basically ex side is being spun and comp side not so much just slipping on shaft seen it more then once just check see if the nut is loose on comp side or for end play

Sounds like you could be right it is a turbo and yes only does it on full revs.
