Glowing red Turbo

[The Shadow]

Also sounds like missing spark.

Unburned fuel into the turbo at idle in a few minutes will result in a red
turbo

Pull the plugs to check to see if one cylinder is flooding, or if they all
are?

Fetch the codes to see if the ECU thinks anything is wrong?

Oh- btw, this sounds like what you'd have if your fuel pressure
regulator was either dead, or the vacuum plumbing to it isn't
healthy.  If it doesn't see a nice vacuum at idle, the fuel pressure
will be way too high and the engine will run very rich.  If you have
a hand vacuum tester(mityvac or similar), disconnect at the back of
the IM the hose that T's off to the computer and the FPR, and try to
apply a vacuum to it.
