Re: glowing turbo...

yeah, the whole cast iron part is what glows, mostly right around where the 4 single headers converge into the turbo, and then the exhaust side of the turbo... its not like SUPER RED GONNA MELT OFF, but its definatly cherry red, in the middle. Seems excessively hot to me, considering I wasn't beating on it, I wish i could afford a EGT gauge, but alas, my galant VR4 tranny I am getting saturday is slightly more important right now. as for how modifyed my car is, I have a 2.75" peiece of pipe bolted to my O2 houseing and i've ported the turbine housing and O2 housing SOME, not all that huge, the biggest thing i guess is that I a 2g manifold and after I took it home I realized it was ported for a big 16G, (7cm opening) so I ported my 14b to match it, other than that, nothin, it runs good, stock computer, no SAFC, I've turned up the boost some, but I didn't think that applied cause I wasn't boosting at the time, and I don't have a CNEL light either,
