My turbo is glowing red help
i have a 88 rx7 turbo 2 motor is stock besides cold air,10.2mm plug wires . i just replaced my turbo with a 89-91 remanufactured i just put the s5 front on my s4 back to bolt right on but we started my car and with in a minute or to my turbo was glowing red hot my old turbo did this also but i figured it was cuz my bearings were broke and the turbins were grinding does this sound like a plugged oil line or bad wastegate or what do u think

I've seen that happen on a TII because of the Turbo not getting enough/any oil. If it was the wastegate I would think you'd be seeing quite a few other symptoms as well?
