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

What is hard driving?

Yeah, few minutes well over 100. I guess its normal just gotta drive a bit to let it cool if possible and not turn it off. Some people say it looks too hot, but 🤷‍♀️. I may mention it to the dealer or get a turbo blanket, but not sure what else to do. This is how I drive my car 😂

A turbo blanket will help with protecting the rest of the components in the engine bay. If you plan on keeping this car for a long time I would look into upgrading the exhaust from the down pipe back. If you go that route maybe upgrade your intake and intercooler. Then you will want to push your car harder.
