Turbos use hot exhaust gases to spin the turbine wheel when the engine is under extreme loads(think a big truck going up a steep hill)the exhaust temperatures rise which makes the turbo work harder these raised exhaust temps (on long haul trucks max exhaust temp before the engine must be down rated is 650 to 750 degrees Celsius) it is these temperatures that cause the turbo to glow red hot
