Why is my exhaust manifold glowing red

RE: Why is my exhaust manifold glowing red
The glow is because there is a tremendous amount of heat and pressure inside of that exhaust manifold. Youre ramming 2.3L worth of exhaust pressure through a hole thats about 2.25" in diameter. When the turbo spools up to 15psi, youre effectivly doubling the displacement of the engine, so then youre forcing 4.6L worth of air through that 2.25" hole.
Thats why turbo cars have much higher exhaust temps.

Oh Ya, They need to flow Exhaust out quicker to avoid Turbo Over Heating Problems. My Eclipse had a 3" to the Muffler than 4" Exhaust Tip.... BIG ****!

I have had that engine for almost 5 years and never seen it like that. Do you thing my cheap *** 3" high flow cat is clogged? I have 3" down pipe as well. My car is only set at 8 psi cause i lost the damn spring and ball in the boost valve
