Glowing red Turbo

[Todd Phenneger]

Really shows why you should always let your engine Idle huh!
THat bright red is normal.  ITs just that usually people dont go
looking at their turbos in pitch black right after they stop a
hard run.  You either drive slowly for a while, or dont look at
it untill a few minutes after you shut if off, or you are in a
Gas Station or Garage with the lights on and cant see the glow.
ITs perfectly normal.  I used to live in the Boonies and after a
hard drive home I'd let the car Idle parked outside, it would
glow for a few minutes progressively getting duller.  It took
about 2 minutes for it to totally cool down and the red to
disappear.  One minute if the drive wasnt' really hard.
  Check out hoses like some others said.  You probably blew one.
BTDT twice.
