It's perfectly normal, and the reason that it looks blueish on the photos is that the camera is fooled by the IR radiation.
I would say that if your turbo on the ST205 does not glow after you been driving it, you should get another car.. like an AT200 or so  -------------------- Black Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 1996 (My love..)
