Default Explanation needed of 240 rally noises

I'm stock 850 owner and I'm fairly new to the 240's. Racing/heavily modded 240's make a whole slew of crazy noises I'm unfamiliar with. Here's a example vid...


What is the chirp sound and what is the pop sound? Thanks

the popping that almost sounds like gunshots is probably backfiring, from running way rich. last engine I heard doing that much backfiring was a heavily modified chevy v8 running on methanol with 8 straight pipes and mechanical fuel injection, when you backed off going into a turn, it sounded like a large caliber chain gun.

dunno what that squeak squeak is, could be suspension (poly bushings squeak a lot if they are under-lubricated), could be intake noise from some kind of monster turbo?
