Don't exceed 35 lb/ft of torqu with your minimum at or around 32 lb/ft of torque.

Hi mate,

There is a process to follow when torquing the rod bolts on the CA turbo:

1. Tighten 10 ft/lb then 12 ft/lb2. Tighten 30 ft/lb then 33 ft/lb

If you have the workshop manual, check out page EM-42 for clearance tolerances

Hope this helps
