My manifold glows bright red...

but only after aggressive driving.
Actually, the glowing STARTS at the turbo's turbine housing and usually spreads back into the manifold from there. If your manifold starts glowing BEFORE the turbine housing then you may have trouble.
Both the manifold and the turbine housing are designed to rapidly absorb and then dissipate heat from the inside out. I've seen several different pictures of an entire manifold and turbo assembly glowing nearly WHITE HOT (although unfortuantely I can't remember where I saw them).
I guess it's hard to tell if your glowing manifold is normal or not. If you drive aggresively, using frequent boost, then I wouldn't worry about it. Otherwise, get it checked out.
Good Luck!
