<br>I'm new to the world of turboed cars (my 1.8T is barely 2 months old), and I remember reading something about red glowing turbos if viewed in the dark...So I got home a while ago after some spirited driving, pulled into the garage, popped the hood and turned the lights out. You guys weren't kidding, this thing was actually glowing! Is this a characteristic of the K-03 or do all turbos glow after driving? I haven't tried it after just regular driving, but would everyday driving also cause this? Anyway, I just started the car up and let it run for about a minute and shut it off...no more glow...just makes me uncomfortable to know that it is glowing red hot...that's all.<br>Do larger turbos glow like this too? <p>Please excuse my ignorance.................<p>-Ash Silver 98.5 1.8TQMS
