Radiator/cowling flaps

The manufacture sets the maximum throttle setting, that the engine can safely run. This setting is full military power, and in the game it should be 100%, anything past that point is WEP, and can cause damage to the engine, The p51 had to have an engine overhaul after 5 hours of WEP opperation. In game running at 100% should not overheat. I have never been able to go beyond 110%, some engines especially with nitrous oxide could go to 140%. Nitrous and water injection have a limited supply, I have never run out in game. Water injection will not cause overheating as it cools the combustion. The TA 152 had both nitrous and water injection, that option is not available. Some rework of the boost system need some rework.

For now I turn the engine overheating off, and wait for the next patch.

There were many design flaws in the ME 262, however jet engines are 90% thermal efficient, they don't get hot like internal combustion engines, that are around 30% efficient.

The actual WWII pilots are, of course, completely wrong
