I figured that since when I do a little racing, it looks like a little devil is dancing under my heat shield
. The first time my wife saw it she thought that my car was going to melt

Correct me if I am wrong but is it the friction from the turbo compressing air that causes the high temp in the exhaust manifold with the glow orange look? That is what I explain to her.
