New Glowing Turbo member?

Went through all gears on highway and got to 162 and had to let off. Stopped to check in everything and turbo was bright red. Scary but F***ing SWEET!! Hope that didn't hurt nothing

If you are beating on it for a while it will glow. I wouldn't shoot for that as your goal to prevent any damage due to warping.

Didnt have a lighter one time, so we floored the car through a couple gears, pulled over and lit the cigarettes off the turbo.
