hope u enjoy, and if neone else has glowy turbo pics, plz post!

neat!

Thats friggin sweet man!

i've never seen one glow that color :D
that's cool

Thats soo cool! But hella weird that its glowing purple, anybody know why that is?

is it normal for turbos to glow period?

sweet!

Yeah, i've seen them glow a redish orange, but never purple

Purple? What the hell? Just what kind of turbo glows purple? Iron usually glows red when brought to the temps that a high performance turbo setup will run at.

thats awesome, I've never seen anything like that

you dont have you heat sheilds on?

purple?? wtf? is that possible?!

is it normal for turbos to glow period?

If it is more than a dull red (on the street) I think I would always check for abnormal exhaust restrictions or an overly rich/retarded mixture before assuming it was "normal".

It was red and pink, but the camera picked it up purple for some reason

I've had my turbo glowing very bright yellow-orange before.

it was REALLY REALLY hot. Usually it'll just get to be a very dull red, if that. It's actually kinda rare that it glows at all, unless I've been driving the car hard.

well, ummm, thats purple, wow, thats insane, but still cool as hell

yah i had been pushing my car for over 40 min or so cuz i was in the mountains :) and it was all uphill.

You must have flogged the dog shit out of the car to do that...... :D

Wow, glow rocks!

However, my whole exhaust glows on my TII. That is not normal.

You look in the N1 Duals and you see a red glow. The cat glows, downpipe, and turbo.

Need to fix it:)

Purple?! Anything purple on a car I'd consider to be rice... ;)

that is so cool :)

lol again, it was originally reddish, but the camera picked it up as purple for some reason

I had my turbo & downpipe glowing a nice shade of orange when I had my timing retarded too much (couldn't set it properly due to the damn rebuild not idling well, so I had to guess) Now the damn thing never glows.

That's awesome. :bigthumb:

Just think about what that's doing to that oil if you don't let your car run to cool it down. Cooking the shit out of it? :)
