Re: glowing turbo...

Yes, aluminum would glow at the same temperature as cast, if it did not melt before it got to that temperature. This is a simple concept, how can it be that hard to grasp??

As far as glowing, it means to give off light without a flame. Such as; glowing cherry red or glowing white hot.

glow ( P ) Pronunciation Key (gl)
intr.v. glowed, glow·ing, glows

1. To shine brightly and steadily, especially without a flame:

2. To have a bright, warm, usually reddish color:


Therefore, a manifold would be glowing if it was giving off light.
