I'm upgrading the turbo on my 951 which will add another ~150hp.
I want to do a hood scoop for additional cooling.

My concern is water entering the engine bay.

Is there a hood scoop that comes with a "stopper" that I could jump out and put in when it starts raining so that I get the free air when there's no rain but I can plug it and not have anything enter the engine bay via the hood scoop when it starts raining?

Hot air in the engine bay is forced out the back of the hood by air that is scooped in through the ducts under the engine. Apart from that, hot air rises and an air scoop will just push the hot air back into the engine bay where it will stay.

If anything you need vents in the hood not a scoop but really with just 370hp you don't need anything. There's people here running a lot more without extra vents or scoops.

If you do go forward with a scoop, think about it like this:

You will be positioning it to where the incoming air moves past the turbo or whatever component you want to cool. The water droplets will also be in that stream of air.

If the area you want to cool is hot enough, the water would immediately change to a gas phase (steam). Probably before it even touches the turbo.
