Default Red glowing manifold.

Hello guys! Im concern about one thing.

What can make a manifold glow? Its getting very hot and I only have the turbo at 0.8 bars.
Its getting hot even when I drive normal.

IMO Advance at WOT full load will be anywhere between 10deg BTDC and 20deg BTDC depending on your full spec, ACT's, fuel RON, Boost, EGT's, etc..

25-28deg is too advanced in which case your probably detonating

Ill will ckeck the timing again. But the thing is, the car runs very good. no missfire or anything. The sparkplugs shoes a light brown/grey couler.

How about the heat wrap around the manifold and elbow/exhaust? Its new. Have never had it before. Can this be the problem that heat cant come out from the manifold and exhaust? Think Ive heard someone writing of this problem before?
