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.

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

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.
