Turbo went red
...then i punched it at 5500 rpm 3rd gear, (ran the car hard), i did it twice, than i went home poped my hood to check my resistor pill (because i got the vishnu sub zero flash) then i looked at my turbo and it was glazing red, is this normal? i know its suppose to heat up and be red but it was really really red, maybe it was cuz it was so dark but anyone ever experience this?

There's a mgic button called search....I have seen pictures of this. It's a rare phenomena, it means you're running low on boost fluid. Better check that out.
