torbo glowing red please help

i was on a dark road the other night and i was trying to adjust my mbc and i looked in between the headers from the top down and i saw something glowing and it was the turbo i guess, and now i look at at it everytime i get done driving and it seems to be at least alittle red well during the day it looks a little red but that night it was really red, i'm not pushing mor than 20 - 21 psi on 93 octane and i have the ngk 2023 plugs now and it still seems to be glowing at least a little is this ok i sont know i never owned a turbo before

Wait till you REALLY get on it a lot one night... It'll glow so bright that you can actually see through the cast, and see the impeller spinning!!! That's some freaky ****...!!!

Just take it easy for the last 5 miles or so, staying out of boost, you'll be okay. No need for a turbo timer, IMO, didn't use one on my last car, zero turbo failures in 120k
