as long as the exhaust side is glowing, your good to go, and obviously not the intake side, Sunny is right, after any hard run, or a run in general, it is always heaven to your turbo to sit and cool down while getting a nice lubrication bath, while your car is at idle, even with no turbo timer, let your car sit for 5min at idle, to allow to cool down, to shut off your car immediatly, could result in your turbo spinning at 20,000 rpms...dry! this will cause bearings/shaft to wear excessivly, the glowing part, is normal, exhaust heats up......
