Ever since I put my new motor in, I've been having an issue. I can drive the car normal and it drives fine. But when I boost it, it will pop in the exhaust, like its sputtering, and slam you to the seat, and then hesitate and pop again. When its sputtering it throws some smoke, not heavy smoke. But I can tell it has smoke.

I changed wires and plugs, Still no change. Last night I took my girlfriend to see the river of lights, its a light show at the Albuquerque Botanical Gardens, For xmas... when I got back I popped the hood and the exhaust and hot side of the turbo was glowing! I've never seen that before on my car. Before the new motor, it was boosting fine.

Can someone help me out.
 
Some say the hotside glowing can be "normal" i thought oh ok, hey my turbo is glowing red after my 20 min ride home on the highway...ok no big deal. Well shortly after my turbo died, blades got ate to crap and thing just went bye bye. So be careful.
