If no work was recently done to the engine, its probably the cats. Only reason I said timing was because when I first put my haltech on and started the car, the timing was way out in the program and the bulb in my timing light was out. The engine was a N/A and just idling for a few minutes caused the pipe and presilencer to glow (rather fiercely).

My last FC would heat the DP and turbine housing red hot when you drove the pants off it (at near stock power level) but it ran RICH RICH RICH! Fatter than ophra used to be.

So likely a failing injector, injectors too big, bad plugs, or retarded timing.
Fairly common problem if you search for "red hot turbo" or variations on that theme.

^^^^^ Word! It happened to me two months ago. My timing was stupid off, creating my car to be terribly rich, resulting in a glowing red hot turbo!!
