'89? From what you say it sounds like you exchanged and '87 for an '89 and used the turbo from the '87 in the '89. Is this correct? Either way the turbos are the same and both of them are water cooled. I own an '87 and it's turbo is water cooled and I've had it turn red also. The issue is with the timing being too retarded which causes there to be unburned fuel in the exhaust which then gets burned somewhat in the manifold, turbo, and downpipe causing them to get too hot. If the case is you now have an '89 from someone else the timing could certainly be off. I'm not sure if the '89 has a D.I. cassette, but I believe it does not. Hope this helps.
