Re: glowing turbo...
The heat shields are exactly that... they protect their surroundings from being directly exposed. That doesn't mean that the heat just vanishes though... it has to go somewhere.
I've seen manifolds glow before... and I imagine the turbine housing can glow with not much more work. But I have a hard time believing the compressor housing was glowing. You didn't mean the ENTIRE turbo was glowing, did you?
Either way, something must be wrong if it's happening without much effort. I'd get an EGT gauge to monitor it. Might be being caused by a bad air/fuel mixture.
