RP - I believe the current plan is to retain MCP, only reducing to 70% TQ if a crack is detected. EC are adamant that the cracking is not caused by MCP torque, merely that once cracked, reducing the torque slows the propagation rate. However the story does seem to change quite often!

212 - I think it means torque limited to its MCP value - 15%, so max 70% tq unless another parameter is more limiting, but that would be pretty hard to achieve even hot and high
