Default Re: TURBO HOT!!!

Driving a turbo'd engine hard will cause the exhaust pressure side to "glow". The only thing to do is to allow it to cool internally. DO NOT shutdown the engine immedately after very heavy-hard driving. Make sure you are running synthetic oil and use a type of Redline Water-Wetter (addition cooling additive).

The other thing to keep the heat from bleeding into the car or burning up the heat sheild is to invest in an upgraded heat sheild/wrap and a down tube wrap. That will keep the engine compartment cooler.
