Ok, interesting. Can anyone explain what actually happened here?

Even after seeing this I'm not afriad to invest in Nitrous..something tells me this system wasn't installed properly or was leaking. I honestly think I could install and setup a kit myself, but I'd rather practice on an old beater..

Any experienced Nitrous people here have any ideas?

Sounds like the nitrous was activated under two major no-no's -- 1. RPMS not high enough and 2. Throttle not WOT.

That surely leads to a big bang much like in the vid.

wow...looks like a nitrous or fuel leak...most likely fuel leak....since nitrous by itself is not flammable....you can see the vapor cloud near the throttle body when the nitrous kicks in...or maybe it was just a fuel leak
