There's nothign wrong with that turbo. It's just being run hard, probably on a dyno. It's steel....in line with the exhaust. If you hold it wide open long enough it will glow red-hot. I guarantee if you run your stock car wide open for 30 seconds and look at the headers, they are glowing...especially if the car is leaned down a bit with a performance tune (which raises EGTs...Exhaust Gas Temperatures).

Just an FYI.
