actually it was 268nm based on what you posted - the value the DME saw was 360nm, which is why it triggered the error.

IIRC it's the instantaneous torque that the DME tracks internally. I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate or not - probably depends on how good the calibration is..
Agreed, the limp mode threshold is 358nm apparently? Also, if the torque sensor is accurate then wouldn't there be a way to output actual engine torque to a file and get a cheapo flywheel dyno chart, at least an approximation? Could use that to a/b test changes like milvs and bbtb pretty easily if someone with enough skill could monitor it via odb2 while the car is operating.
