This also explains why the RAF recommends the WEP boost to be used only for 5min while the MW50 was recommended by the Luftwaffe to be used for 10min at a time.

I was doing a comparison in between engine blowing UP.
Still I must agree that the stationary condition must be worst for the Spitfire, since MW50 cools the engine even without movement.
