got a question, i just installed my hks downpipe over the weekend. Today i took it for a 1 1/2 hour ride after work and when i got home i check under the hood for smoke (because of PB blaster smoke from install). No smoke but the turbo was glowing red, right at the exaust port. Only notice because that heat sheild is now removed. Is this normal or what????

 

Do you know what the temperatures were for your car?

 

centered in the gauge if not a little below center. normal operating temps for me.

 

I'm guessing from the question that its not normal

 

mine glows. i even got my hondas headers to glow before too. i think your just being paranoid.

 

yeah your probably right, i think being paranoid is what FD owners do.

 

Mine glows

 

Mine glows Too! Ausome looking at night!

Mine glow too. It's nothing to worry about.

 

Glowing OwnZ. I love seeing it.

 

I've had my cat-back glowing ....

 

I'm shooting 5 inch flames out the tailpipe and grining from ear to ear.

 

Heh....Hyperite can shoot flames IDLING!!!

I'll have to check that out. I've seen glowing cats before, but never looked at a turbo.

 

Mine glows nicely I actually use this to determinr when to shut the car off after ideling with the fans on. When the glow be gone, I shut off the engine. Really seems to reduce heat soak after shutoff...

 

It's not so much that i CAN shoot flames idling, it's that it just happens.... dunno why, but why mess with success.

 

If the whole DP is cherry-red you better check for a clogged cat converter, tho.
