best time to have a gander at a glowing turbo/mani is late a night when its dark, managed something very similar on my stock 180 lc,

hope you gave it plenty of time to cool down before shutting it off ;)

Oh yeah, but this thing cools really quick, the glow goes of it in a matter of seconds

Fookin hell, all that heat right near you tootsies.LOL

Yep, now you can imagine this thing glowing under there and how incredible these engines are.

I guess this is why they call the wall between the cabin and the bay a firewall :lol::lol:

my old IHI was subjected to an overly long dyno run like the evo (repeatedly) and warped its hotside as a consequence.

too hot!
