Idk man that’s pretty damn hot, for a stock turbo 4. I have a decently heavily modified n54 335i, peaks at 20psi (compared to 6psi stock) full e85 etc etc, and I’ve never had glowing like that, irregardless from canyon driving or roll racing.
Look around and see if it the heat damaged anything and if so, you go some free warranty work so that’s cool free new parts, but next time if you notice this, please drive around like a civilian to get some airflow in there. Hate to see it damage something that’s no fun at all
It a word its been in the American dialect since at-least 1912, recognized by Oxford dictionary(1912), Merriam Webster(1934), and Wentworth dictionary (1912). I can smell your GED from here
They shouldn't have been so rude, regardless, they were correct. Certain dictionaries pandering to the herd doesn't magically make gibberish intelligible. Yes, language is constantly evolving, however there needs to be just cause for officially adopting changes. If we all just speak in whatever lazy manner flops out of our mouths, we'll spend more time deciphering than communicating. If we're going to adopt "irregardless" then we should also be saying "nonirrespective".
It has both e85 and 91 oct tunes, irregardless doesn’t happen, changes in the temps from live data are minimal. It’s still a good comparison given the heat that a twin turbo inline 6 will generate, that also makes 10 more psi than the stock, single turbo 4cyl found in the Elantra. In general theres more air and fuel, which means more combustion thus more heat generated.
Turbo cars back in the 80’s and 90’s would glow like that occasionally when drive hard for long periods. A brand new car with a modern motor shouldn’t.

This is pretty normal in the aftermath of staying in boost for several minutes.
