if it gets real hot like that its usually a good idea to keep the car ON and idling for a little while, just to help the process. I'm pretty sure this is common sense to most of us - just a helpful reminder.

Glowing is fine, the k03 is such a little turbo it will always get hot quickly.

F1 engines kick ***, not turbo ones though.

let it sit and idol, if it gets how beyond your comfort, just put it in neutral and cruise back down the canyon, this will get your oil temp way down towars 175 and your collant temp to the left a good notch or two. i like to rev it up every couple of minutes to get some water pressure back in there

sit and idol i forgot who told me this here but just open the door and let it make that annoying noise until it stops which means a minute passed by then u can turn off your engine

or
buy a turbo timer
