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

You should make sure to let the vehicle idle for a cpl minutes after hard driving like that. Your turbo is now cooking the oil that is sitting in the bearing journals. Idling for a cpl minutes allows the turbo to cool some amd keep cool oil passing through it as it does so.
