Default Mastery backfire

Hear we go
At work, bird was cold and was running fine with all the horses fit with no
Sign of weakness at all during the 45 min driving to work just before my shift ends
Got in started the bird and boooooooooooom like a NOS explosion that blew the hell
Outa my fast intake taking MAF and oli pressure sensor with it.

I asked around + search with no luck what cussed the expensive explosion
Any thoughts are welcomed

Alaa

NAWSSSSS!!!!! Nitrous leaking into the intake would be a likely cause.

NOS was not connected I only guess that the fuel injectors where dripping into the intake but can be wrong.

if it's not NAWS the leaking injector would be my best guess.

Fuel pressure regulator? I've seen that happen on trucks quite a bit...
