I have a 10" straight out pipe and the turbo wheel can be seen glowing bright red. That was only at 2300 engine rpm. Looked like the tail pipe of F-16 :). Even after shut down the red glow stayed for a while. I know this is not news to any body, but can't imagine what the turbine wheel is going through at full power runs? Buly
