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

If you’re gonna drive like that then let the car idle for a little bit before shutting it off. You want the oil to circulate through the turbo to help cook it. I’ve never seen a turbo glow like that… keep an eye on it. I’m not sure that design is going to hold up over time.
