[QUOTE="TwizzleStix, post: 1592400, member: 32095"] Glowing turbos and exhaust manifolds/pipes are NORMAL. They're glowing in the daytime too, but you can't tell because well, sunlight. I'm not aware of the plumbing on other factory turbo engines, but for sure the ecoboost turbos are oil and water cooled, specifically plumbed to allow the continuous circulation as mentioned earlier, so there is no problem with shutting it down after driving, UNLESS you were pulling a heavy load and abruptly stop. In most cases of highway running, there is plenty of time from the point you let off the gas for exit and you finally get to your stopping point to shut 'er down without another thought about it. Even if you just ran a WOT 1/4 mile run, by the time you get back to your pit spot, it's already cooled enough to shut 'er down. [/QUOTE]
