did not want to start a new thread, basicly the same question.
the manifold is glowing only the rear (rotor 2), Idon't have the downpipe connected yet or the intercooler pipes, so can it be just the base map that i loaded in the ecu?
or what else can make it glow?
it glows at idle in like a minute. does not overheats, nothing seem out of place

leading coil issue
+1 for double checking your leading coils/plugs. I had a leading coil go bad and it only took a few minutes to cherry my turbo running on the trailing coils. It's not the same as a light glow after beating on it, my was red like a fire truck (in daylight) and melted anything within a foot of the turbo. It sucks because you cannot cool it down by idling so you have nasty thermal shock to your system.
