If you are lean then that will cause knock. Knock will retard the timing and retarded timing caused the turbo to glow. I think that about sums it up.

Ive seen it happen, on my 8 with 9 turbo when I use to go up angeles crest after driving hard id pop my hood and it would be fully glowing, but it would have to be pitch black for me to see it. My friend with his bone stock X would get the same thing. Its normal to an extent.

It's normal for them to glow with a high load on them.........check out youtube.
If it's glowing at idle, it's insufficient timing advance.
When it's dark, you'll see a glow that you won't see in daytime.

Is this even serious? Turbine housings and exhaust manifolds get red hot. It's what happens when the exhaust gases traveling through them are over 1500* at WOT.

Agreed 100%. Unless you are making stupid ridiculous amounts of power at high boost pressures there is no reason what so ever that your turbine housing should glow. I have never once had mine glow even after a number of hard runs to log and tune. And 13mpg is the dead giveaway right there, I still get in the low 20's fully tuned with normal driving.
