Leon cupra mk3 pops and bangs

Hello everyone, i have bought the leon cupra 280 2016 3 months ago.
when i picked the car it was tuned with some unknown software it was so powerful but no pops and bangs at all.
It has down pipe and full system of someone that makes exhausts in my country.
Im currently running stage 1 on 370hp. I have got my res deleted and also flats fully open.
There is a decent noise, but when it comes to pops and bangs it makes 4-5 pops and thats it, then i need to push the gas pedal once again leave it, another 4-5 pops and that's it...
For comparison my friend has leon fr 2014 we both running the same software(both stage 1) he has continuously 10-15 pops and bangs when leaving the gas pedal.
anyone can think of what might be the issue ?

I imagine yours is mapped for pops and bags while he has an overrun map.
