glowing turbo's are normal whenever you drive hard. this is some footage we did while pushing a car pretty hard on the dyno. this was after 5 consecutive runs with little or no cooldown.

Funny part is this has been posted since basically the day people started chipping their A4 1.8t. I remember when people were posting it on the forums in 2000 and that was 10 years ago.

You should see how white the K03 gets when pushed at 26psi. LOL

Glowing doesn't sound like it would be a good thing. Bigger FMIC

FMIC cools the air going into the intake not exhaust.

Yeah the part that glows is the exhaust side. They're designed to get hot, no worries.
