Usually glowing turbo/overly hot exhaust indicates that you're running lean... What are your AFR's?

glowing of the exhaust parts is also a byproduct of retarded ignition timing. the spark occurs too late causing the combustion process to peak closer to the exhaust port opening and combustion to continue in the exhaust manifold and turbine housing. makes the turbo spool wicked fast though (this is essentially anti-lag without an outside source).

BP with a stock turbo? Most upgrade the turbo before porting, particularly with a bp.
