Hi, can anyone tell me the torque setting for the intercooler charge pipe collar onto the turbo please.

These are the only torque settings listed for the turbo and hoses….

The only mention of the charge air cooler hoses is that they are all push fit and must have special anti-friction paste applied in order to prevent damage to the internal sealing rings. No grease/oil should be used.

Great, thank you. Not sure it's the right one, so I've gone with 8nM as it's a 6mm bolt.
