RJC 3" downpipe to turbo bolt torque

[jghall6]

What should the 4 bolts that connect the downpipe to the turbo be torqued to? (RJC 3" downpipe with internal wastegate)

I just tighten them hard lol Never used a torque wrench but I'd assume I get them 25-30lbs

Edit: Just checked and I think I have them a wee bit more towards upper 30's than at 25. Like I said though..Until just now Ive never checked. I usually just go tight and then give it that extra 1/4 turn.

Careful...the threads in a housing get a little weak from the heat. I have stripped more then 1 in my day. I always run a tap into the holes and then use "never seize" on the bolts. You could get set screws and use them as studs and that is a little safer. I started doing that a few years ago.
