Sounds normal...During that first startup, all the assembly lube and crap in the engine needs to burn off...
Strange that the turbo is glowing red though. You may have already fouled your plugs. I assume it runs smooth and doesn't miss?

Check for stuck injectors. Had one last week that was just pissing fuel into the secondary rear.
Also, are you SURE your plugs and wires are good? Rebuilds foul plugs very quickly.
