Hi, I just noticed an issue on my turbo.

When the turbo glows that's just it's way of telling you that it loves you.

The turbo runs at well over 150,000rpm, so it does generatea little bit of heat!

EGT can also reach over 1000 degrees. That would make most any metal glow.

I guess the real point I would make is that you need to be idling your car until the turbo stops glowing, or it will, ummm, stop glowing, or working at all for that matter.

Cheers!

feeling giddy today. saw this topicand immediately thought of the song. and since i can't get it out of my head, i'll sing it for you now. hope you know the tune:

Doesyour turbo glow?
Does it wobble too and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder like a Continental soldier?

you don't have a turbo so you can't sing to us
