Default 97 A4 1.8t turbo glows
My turbo glows after just running down the street and back driving lightly. Glows as if its on a full boost pull for a long period. This cant be right none of my others do this. Poor oil flow?

Could be the oil feed line is notorious for getting plugged up. There could also be a plug in one of the coolant lines. Running too rich can also cause a turbo to glow.
