glowing turbos (yes i searched prior to posting)

hey guys i have a 93 with stock twins a street port downpipe and cat eliminating mid pipe. and a power FC the exhaust from the mid pipe back is stock ( i don't like loud exhaust) any way after about 20 minutes of driving regardless of how i drive EX: in the boost the whole time or not boosting at all. my first turbo glows red. and the car smells like its running rich. i can think of a few things like leaky injectors or a bad power fc map (i dont have datalogit) other than that im at a loss anyone have any ideas??

How fresh are your plugs? Old/worn/fouled plugs will not light off the mixture properly and many times it can burn in the turbos, increasing EGT's.
