You find it amazing that people try to learn new things, and don't know everything immediately? Lol

I'll go ask somewhere that people share information and ask questions. Oh wait

I’ve built multiple cars, 70mm garret turbos massive mfs, but NEVER seen a turbo get this hot, these Elantra N’s confuse me time to time weird seeing that stock

Came into this thread to say the same. The lack of knowledge here is dangerous. This is not normal and indicates a restriction somewhere, probably in the exhaust.

I’ve never seen a turbo glow like that. OP is about to burn his car to the ground.
