Replacing Maggie inlet - whats the torque for these bolts? Does anyone here know the torque specs for the bolts for the maggie inlet? I'm going from a 78 mm TB to a 90 mm and am looking to torque these bolts correctly. I know the bolts for the TB itself are 89 in-lbs but I can't find info on the inlet bolts.

You dont want them so tight you distort the case or the snout since they are aluminum. I also used longer bolts because the stock ones would have only been threaded in by about 3-4 threads it seems. My "just snugged" solution has been holding fine for the past two years. So has my anaerobic sealant (locktight) snout gasket.

Thanks. A reply from ls1gto.com says 106 in-lbs. I called Magnuson and they said 25 ft-lbs, which is quite a difference. 25 ft-lbs sounds like a lot.
