alright...92 G20 , Sr20de JDM Highport , 10:1 LSD , exedy new clutch...5 speed ,,,just got the new clutch installed and everything and its all broken in now.. so anyways...when i accelerate really hard , full throttle , first and second gear, sumtimes in third , something up in the front right , will make a loud popping noise , like a bone comming out a socket , like a joint popping noise , and after that the steering wheel , all by itself will turn VERY sharply to the right and almost pick the front end up and throw it to the right as if im in some sort of a drag monster car!.. and then when i get on the breaks , the popping noise will come again and like "pop" back "into socket"... ...also it tracks to the left slightly , and after this "pop" it will track (pull) to the right , and after i re pop it , itll pull back to the left...its goin back to the shop tommorow to see whats up , but id really like some advice..thanks

Check the motor mounts, struts, and CV joints. My guess is the latter.

definately sounds like a cv joint or maybe a mount. if it's a cv joint, that's a HORRIBLE noise to hear, normally you get a winding noise or some clunking, but a "pop" that loud would definately be bad. it could be the strut itself is blown, but i dont think the front end would move that much during acceleration to make a loud pop even with a blown strut.
