Subject: [FlyRotary] Hot turbo

Last night while running engine in the hangar, my neighbor waved me back
to
take look at the turbo wheel. I have a 10" straight out pipe and the
turbo
wheel can be seen glowing bright red. That was only at 2300 engine rpm.
Looked like the tail pipe of F-16 :). Even after shut down the red glow
stayed for a while. I know this is not news to any body, but can't
imagine
what the turbine wheel is going through at full power runs?
