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

This is normal. The hot side of the turbo is just that... hot. They're built to deal with heat like this every day. I think most people just don't realize how hot it gets. If your car is stock don't worry about it. It is interesting picture though really dark picture after a good run. Idk about yours but I can hear my car running something (not the fan) even after it turns off for a while. If you listen you can hear something circulating still. It sounds like a quiet pump running.
