Turbo/DP glowing red hot. Anyone ever see this before?

After some spirited driving last night, with suustained pulls of 15 PSI in 3rd gear, 18 PSI in 4th gear, and a few peaks of 24 PSI, I pulled into the driveway and decided to pop my hood. It was very dark outside. I noticed for the first time that my turbo unit, right where it connects to the 3" downpipe, was glowing a very bright red/orange. I started the car back up and let it idle for another 5 minutes in order to cool the Turbo and DP a bit.
Is this typical? Has anyone ever experienced this? I may need to get an EGT gauge.
