Guys, my turbo is RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just did some "spirited" driving on I95 at around 95MPH peaking for around 2 minutes! I've heard some of you say if you pop your hood after some fun, night driving the turbo will glow red. Guess what! It was SOOOOO red it lit up my entire engine bay! How awesome is that! BTW, i was just wondering, how hot is it? (not like I am gonna touch it but it seriously looks like it could bake a pizza!)

If you're done abusing your car, get back in and drive around
"off boost" to let the air move some of the hot air out of the engine bay. Contrary to what people may lead you to believe, idling your car after a hard run is not the best way of cooling your turbo...run it for 2 miles with little or no boost, then follow with a 1-2 minute idle.
