not a lot. without checking, i'd say 12Nm

Thanks, I think I read elsewhere that all the plenum bolts are 12nm so that sounds right.

I'm guessing "tight as f**k"

Be careful with them bolts cos I tried doing mine up to 12Nm but I couldn't even get them that tight - I think I might have started to strip the threads.

Did tb and plenum bolts up tonight at 12nm and they were fine. Did feel quite tight tho and was a bit scary doing the first one on the plenum. Def wouldn't want to do them any tighter!
