You are running lean. From the looks of it, very lean.

Hopefully you have a wideband, but from the looks of it I have to assume the answer is no. If that's the case, you better start saving for a new motor now.

Widebands are cheap compared to new motors.

Yeah, I am installing the wideband, and tuning on meth in two weeks......

I have no idea how my tune went from Rich to lean.............Spark plugs look fine, I dunno.


I got to be honest if its as bad as it looks how could I now have blown my motor yet? Scary sh-t, I guess this is what happens when one remains ignorant and goes F/I, Hopefully my Tuner can straighten everything out

Well, after some research It appears this actually may be common on the hot side of the turbo...............

You're fine. Your turbine glows red during operation. The white is what color it oxidizes on cool down.

EXCEPT W/THE NEW MOTOR PART....I THINK YOUR MOTOR COULD VERY WELL BE FINE, looks very hot n lean to me.... Mine is a darker color and typically has some black very thin residue like you'd find on the inside of exhaust pipes..... Perhaps you ran hard and shut down though and that's why it looks so hot. I know my car runs more on the rich side and doesn't look this way. Perhaps its still normal but mine hasn't looked this way.

Have you run any fuel additives/race fuels?

Just been running a lot of water/meth lately, also on the box what does it mean when the AutoMeter Wideband gauge says

"This product has no provision for dial illumination/backlighting." <-----how in the world could they sell a gauge without lighting, anyway where do I get lighting for this?
