[QUOTE="goblues38, post: 1720445, member: 29724"] red turbos are 100% normal under any significant high load situation. as discussed. early turbo cars of the 70's - 80's were all oil cooled. Shutting a car down when red hot allowed the oil to stop flowing and just cook inside the turbo and the bearings usually took the most damage. many Porsches and Diesel trucks during this time used after market devices called Turbo Timers to have the car run for 1-5 mins after you turned the key off and left the car. in modern turbo cars, they have added water cooling and after run pumps that continue to flow oil and water after the car is shut off. Still, not a bad idea to baby the car for the final 1/4. ice before you park it. Since I can't really go crazy in my subdivision with any wide open throttle, this is not an issue for many of us.
