Yes the water you see splashing and the pop you hear in the video he posted was when the frost plug popped out.

OK, but like the other guy corrected your post about boost leaks(simple brain fart when typing).. for the same reason I made my comments. Only because newbs will read your posts as golden and then when they hear a HG has blown(on any car/engine).. they will believe that damage to the head or block is the norm, which it isn't. I understand that damage does and can happen, like it did to your bro, but it isn't the norm for a blown HG.
And I didn't hear much on that vid because my laptop speakers suck, but that is generally what a HG blowing under load on a dyno looks like(some worse and some not as apparent), so it's not obvious to me that it was a frost plug.
