i understand that these turbos like to glow when you goose it for a while but this is rediculous. Is it really supposed to glow so hot that the entire exaust manifold glows as well as my cat. This doesn't take that long either, mabey 15 mins of rippin' on it. Oh yeah , 01 1.8tq BONE STOCK. wtf?

 

It's fine man, that **** gets hot. I wouldn't sweat it, sounds normal to me.

 

since it's stock I wouldnt worry either. I think normal EGT is like 1500-1600*F. I may be off though.

 

I have had the exhaust mani/turbo/cat all glowing like crazy, its normal dude.

 

i like the glow of the turbo

 

noob question here ..

when metal gets hot it glows u kno

 

As in red hot.

 

my entire down pipe was already rusted
