i was on a dark road the other night and i was trying to adjust my mbc and i looked in between the headers from the top down and i saw something glowing and it was the turbo i guess, and now i look at at it everytime i get done driving and it seems to be at least alittle red well during the day it looks a little red but that night it was really red, i'm not pushing mor than 20 - 21 psi on 93 octane and i have the ngk 2023 plugs now and it still seems to be glowing at least a little is this ok i sont know i never owned a turbo before

 

yep a hot turbo will glow dont touch it and welcome to the joy of turbo ownership

 

Its fine

 

sorry for posting it in this site i'm still new and didnt know how to start a new topic, and i guess i went to the wrong area i understand how it works now, thanks guys

 

yeah

turbos will do that

my stock turbo even with stock boost pressures glows after a pounding

 

My bad........guess you're good Kevin.

 

Wait till you REALLY get on it a lot one night... It'll glow so bright that you can actually see through the cast, and see the impeller spinning!!! That's some freaky ****...!!!

 

So how long exactly do u cool down ur turbo? cuz usually i juss let it idle for a min. or 2... man i really need to get a turbo timer.

 

Just take it easy for the last 5 miles or so, staying out of boost, you'll be okay. No need for a turbo timer, IMO, didn't use one on my last car, zero turbo failures in 120k
