Its not a bang out of the exhaust. Its more like a pop. Get a paper bag, blow air into it, tie it off, then pop it. Now amplify that to exhaust decibels. Thats the sound you should here. It makes me think of a BOV strapped to an exhaust. I dont know where this whole "shotgun" sound came from, but we are not driving some 79 LTD ford with a backfire.
And as far as 2-3 shift, naturally it will be slower, because ur pushing, not pulling, as you do from 3-4. It takes more precision to make a 2-3 shift faster. Keep working on it, you'll get it.

the only time i have had a problem with the NLS was when i was dicking around and i didnt have the gas to the floor. it revved up as i was dumping the clutch. it threw me in the seat pretty good lol. i felt like a ******* though.
i used to NLS the hell out of my old RX-7 when i was younger, so it wasnt really a big deal for me. im still nervous about doing it from 2nd to 3rd, but i haven't miss shifted it yet.

Ok well, i have been trying to NLS for the past few days, and everytime I feel like im gonna blow a head gasket off my car or something. I did it like 2x months ago when my buddy was int he car and i tried the 2-3 NLS like for the past few weeks and I cannot get it for the life of me. I floor it up till 6 grand and while floored I mash the clutch and shift it like a maniac then release clutch and my car sneezes and i loose boost and then it just jerks a little when i let off clutch. Im afraid to keep doing this because it cannot be good for my car at all. But im determined to pull it off again. I know the 2-3 shift is kinda harder because you have to slide the shifter over then push up, not as easy as the 3-4. But do you think im taking it to the wrong RPM? should I shift sooner?
I just feel like its horrible for my car, if I was driving a honda I wouldnt mind revving it to redline becasue thats kinda what there made for, but the TC at redline screams and whines. kinda sounds a little supercharged but i think its just the engine working so freaking hard lol. anyways any tips would be appreciated.
EDIT: Yes its in comp mode but I think you can do it without it being in comp mode
