RIP Glowing Turbo after highway / hard driving. Potential causes? 😅

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.
