replacing intake gasket and cant find torque specs on the CD for the manifold nuts or for the turbo. The sections on replacing the gasket and replacing the turbo have no specs listed, where are they ????

I have looked in my 123 and 126 manuals and can not find anything. I'll check my Haynes manual tomorrow, It's at the airport.

Hayne's page 124, for 123(same thing): "turbocharger flange to exhaust pipe nut ...20-25 Nm......15-18 Ft-lbs".

The only specs I could find for the manifold to the head was stated thusly (page 61: "Tighten the nuts securely".

FWIW
