Congrats Major.
Actually the oil temps dont even need to hit 280 to notice the reduced power. Timing is significantly pulled back I can feel it even at 270F~ on the track. I believe boost however is also pulled back in conjunction with the timing starting aroudn 280F+. Limp mode due to oil temps does not occur until 300 or 310F. I dont think youll see an error light (i know I havnt at 290F) but the car will be significantly weaker in terms of power output.
