When does Limp mode kick in for over heating?

With the 335's, at which temperature does limp mode kick in for over heating? Is it based off coolant temperature or oil temperature?

My water pump just went out a week ago. My coolant hit 250 F and went into limp mode.

I believe water temp is two stage. Yellow limp mode at about 235 and red shut down at 250ish.
Oil temp will also cause limp mode independent of water temp. I believe oil temp limp mode trigger is about 275.
I cant verify either by experience, but have read experiences from related blog entries.

If you open a stock bin in tunerpro you can view all these settings and modify them too, including coolant temp setpoints and fan dutycycle.

Not sure about water temp, but on a trackday at Le Mans last year the oil hit about 140C (285F) and it didn't go in to limp mode. So not sure what temp it would kick in.
