Default Intermittent problem

Hi I'm having an intermittent problem with my 04 subaru Impreza wrx. When I drive the car under normal driving conditions it's great no problems at all. When I drive it under full load it gets to between 2500 and 5000 rpm I get 1 or 2 pops from the exhaust and it's good again go into the next gear and same again but it doesnt happen all the time when driving like this. I've replaced the spark plugs all the coils and a test on the maf sensor came back working as it should. Theres no lights on the dash no flashes of lights when it does this and a diagnostic machine test came back with no faults on the engine.

You can do afrs with a laptop, cable and romraider free version can't you?
I'm sure that's what I used a few years ago.

No
