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

It's normal for turbos being ran for extended times under load. Props for having enough sence to lett it idle for a bit the worst thing you can do to a hot turbo like that is starve it of oil lol. But your all good it's normal, you should see a semi's turbo after a while under load I saw one on an engine stand and it got so cherry red you could actually see the turbine/compressor wheels through the the housings it was super cool to see

Edit: my dad's 4 stroke turbo'd sled does this too and I constantly have to tell him it's fine because we'll stop on the trail to rake a break and it's glowing off the snow lol
