When my car was on the rollers the collectors on each bank were glowing a bright red which was scary at the time 
With normal road use I would be surprised if they could get that hot due to the extra airflow - turbos however are a different story.

Thats a sign of a badly designed combustion chamber....
If you design the combustion chamber properly there is a flow of cooler air around the outside of the pipes diameter to keep the walls cool.... That
turbo wont last long...not long atall!

Yep -- On a non-turbo engine it is generally a sign of ignition is too retarded the excess het is caused by the combustion being incomplete before
the exhaust vavle opens as a result a higher percentage of combustion heat energy is rejected to the exhaust.
Turbos are a bit different and will get a buld up of heat after being thrashed which can cook the oil in the turbo bearing drastically shortening
turbo life..
With a turbo you should :
(1) Always allow the turbo to cool down after a hard drive -- ideally drive quietly for half a mile or so and allow to idle for up to a minute before
switch off.
(2) Use a top quality synthetic oil.
