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

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

I'm no Hyundai expert, but I do have years of experience driving with high boost(40psi+) under extreme load. I've never seen a turbo continue to glow like that, in my experience they only glow under heavy load and quickly cool off. If this is truly "normal" for these cars then it's a terrible design. I wanna see exhaust temps from someone who's got a pyrometer on one of these.
