Is a turbo manifold supposed to glow red?
On my buddy's Merkur..after running the car pretty hard..the turbo manifold glows...is that normal or is he running lean?

Normal. My buddy claims he once saw the turbine spinning through the red.

Really? Wow. Thanks for the clarification. I really thought they turned invisible.

Perhaps I misunderstood... I was under the impression you might have actually believed that your friend could see through a glowing piece of solid iron.
I apologize for my confusion.

Hey haven't you seen fast & furious... you can see the spinning turbine when you go from the motor to the wheels or whatever in that one scene.
