not quite that bad but yes.
is it really something i should be very worried about?
i wouldnt of thought it was either of those problems as it was only mapped by Stu in December.
ive got enough things on the car to do as it is.
thanks

you will find that the turbine hosuing will get red hot if you're pushing it at high boost for a whaile, also if the engine tune is out (i.e., retarded ignition timing & rich fuel mixtures), the same will happen.
it shouldn't be a problem, but make sure u give the car/engine a cool down lap before switching it off.
