Red hot exaust side on turbo ? (87 TII)
How normal is a red hot glowing turbo after a 30minutes hard pulling ride?

@ 10-15 psi and about 10 min of hard running, my turbo glows a bit. Nice dull red.

it depends how fast you can pop the hood, get out of the car, open the hood, and look at it... the faster you can do it, the brighter it will be!

i can get the turbo and downpipe to glow...hard driving will do that....your fine...no need to freak out...just be sure to let it run a little if you stop right after a hard run..or install a turbo timer....
