: Torque specs for 6 plenum bolts? I'm adding a boost gauge.

So I'm plumbing the boost gauge air hose and have the upper intake plenum off. I can't find the torque specs for the six bolts that hold it down.

Any particular tightening order? I got a new gasket, do I need any special sealer or just chip off the old one and stick the new gasket in?

I'd like to get the thing torqued down correctly before tomorrow so if anyone's got the proper specs for those top 6 bolts, it would be much appreciated!

I just criss-cross'em to 17 ft/lbs. The lower intake I go to 32 ft/lbs. I don't use any sealer other than the gasket, makes it easier the next time it comes off.
