> Is there a way to change the "rough running" time from 2 mins down to maybe 20 seconds?

Tweaking the roughness effect is possible, but I believe in your case it will not solve the issue. Here's how it can be done, taking module RE1_EnginePowerLimitations_EngineRoughnessFailure_v12.xml as an example. Similar with the MP / RPM module.

Line 72:

<!-- Time-to-fail (min) --> 5

This is the TTF if limitations are far exceeded. If limitations are only moderately exceeded TTF is longer.

Line 78:

<!-- Onset of engine roughness after % of total TTF --> 90

Increase to shorten the time between onset of roughness and complete faliure. % of TTF as set in line 72, i.e. in this case about 0.5 minutes (or larger as engine toggles on and off and is not at high power all the time, or if limitations are only moderately exceeded). Increase value to, say, 95 (%) to have roughness for 20 seconds only.

to be followed...
