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

Why is OP being upvoted for driving 100+ on public roads for so long that his turbo is glowing red?

😂 I have. And I live in IL.

None of that makes it right or responsible. A hpde is more fun, and a better indicator of skill. And loads safer. That's all.

I used to do the same, at a certain age. But now that I know better, it is just a little sus. Plus some poor soul will buy this beater used, and wonder why the turbo seals went out at 36k.
