This was taken form another site and I was wandering if it was anyone here being that there's not but a few Turbo Marauders out there.

"Well, the night starts out good, I run over to the mustang hangout, and theres a 2003 turbocharged marauder (6psi), its like a pimped out crown victoria w/ a cobra 4.6L, and he happened to put on a Pro Turbocharger a week ago. So we roll to the highway, and my nitrous ain't workin...dunno why, so I just race him NA. From 55 to 85 he gets like 2 cars with the jump, then I hold him about 2 1/2 cars till around 115 and we shutdown. He said he had 450hp...i dunno about all that though.
I pulled into Exxon down the road and I started checkin out my nitrous solenoids, it's gettin juice but no nitrous is coming out. I vent a little pressure out of the line, and then it works, so I hook it back up and go to a nice backroad with a cammed and full bolton 1992 5.0 stang. We go from a stop and I murder him, then from a 35 roll, and get 3 cars by 115, both NA. So I am gonna try to spray it again, just a trial before the Viper run. NOTHING HAPPENS, but the fuel solenoid did open, so I went rich pretty fast, so I knew that that solenoid was opening.
I pull over and open the hood, undo the nitrous line after the solenoid and try it. Nothing. I lower the pressure in the main line from 1200 to 500, and it works. I do it a couple times, and can't get above 800psi in the line or the solenoid wont open. I tried this several times, and didn't know fuel had been spraying into the intake cause I didn't undo that line.
So, frustrated, I hook the line back up, and I'm just gonna go hang out at Sonic and sulk about my stupid nitrous problem, and see if maybe someone knows what to do. So I start the car, and BOOM. smoke comes out of the hood. DAMN IT. I take off the elbow, and my left flapper looks taco'd, not bad, but enough to not be straight. The fuel must have been spraying in there when the car wasn't running when I was turning my car on and off a few times, playing with the nitrous line. I air out everything and start it again, and it runs, no smoke, no misses, nothing bad sounding, but it's idling at 3k rpm cause my stupid flapper is letting air in...
I limped home, with a NA mustang kill, a loss (that shouldn't have been a loss), no viper runs, and at minimum a fukked throttle body...oh and my nitrous ain't workin either. Lets hope there's not a blown head gasket, that'd suck...
