That's perfectly normal for the turbo to have a glow to it after driving.
turbo red hot??
i just recently got a mx6 gt 1989 for about 1300. havent had problems with it other then it has a misfire... but i just got off home from work.. and i left the car on so the turbo could cool down and i popped the hood.. and the turbo was red hot.. not extremly bright but u could see the red.. is that normal for the car or is something wrong?

The turbo on the first mx6 gt I had glowed bright for about a half an hour after shut down and never caused a problem and also a slight misfire at idle with these cars in also normal.
yup ive got that same missfire, the probinator ecu seemed to help out a little and definatley smoothed out the power curve.
do plugs, wire's(get good ones), cap, rotor, and fuel filter.
You should get rid of a missfire doing that.
as far as the turbo glowing, are you sure its glowing and not painted? maybe touch it and see if its hot!! LMAO!!!
I'm sorry, no don't touch it, it is hot!!!!!
And that is normal.

I agree, the basics get over looked too often. And with the plugs I recommend the dealership for them. I have not had any problems with plug from the dealership (Mazda). Others have mentioned poor quality.
