just be careful that there is nothing sitting close enough that could be set on fire.
last thing you want to happen is for it to go up in a ball of fire after a run.

it has happened more often then anyone would care to think about.

edit: didnt realise this was my first post here.
sorry for not having a proper intro.

they all get a bit red, but to glow completely red isn't something that happens all the time.
only after a long run of hard driving.
and its fine normally but if you dont make sure nothing is hanging loose around the turbo, rubber hoses, steering rack boot, wiring loom etc, they can melt and start fires.

it's not something to be paranoid about but it's worth checking to make sure nothing is too close to it.
