RE: Glowing Turbo

It was glowing that hot just after i had finished doing a top speed test, so the turbo was on full boost for some time.

How long did you test the top speed? 2 hours? That is way to hot. seriously dont do it again. Go out and buy DEI turbo insulation kit.

I was going for 10 mins, Most turbos do get hot after they have been used on full boost @ 140 mph
