Red Turbo after 30 minutes ride

hi there, I've been wondering...

I have made a 30 minutes ride with my 2.0 gc and and dark, really dark, I have open my hood and notice that the turbo have that glimmering red color... not that red but just a little red into the dark...

I got poweraxel reflash and planning on puting cp-e catback and downpipe...

Is that something I have to worry about or is it just normal...

Thanks guy and gal ;)

turbo glow is normal so long as it's not the compressor side.
The compressor side is closest to the front of the car and is not under a heat shield.

this car uses both water and oil cooling for the turbo, so you don't even have to let it idle for long or at all before shutting it down.

no it's the side with the downpipe attached to it... great news then ;) I was worried about it... thanks snoopy

yeah definetly no worries...that should be a little less when you open things up an the air is flowing a little better.
