That is what i figured. I would like to get a hold of the torque specs from HKS but their customer service blows. I think 40 in lbs will do.

Does the WG need to be off the exhaust manifold? Only reason I ask is the heads of the bolts to the WG are damn near stripped and I would love to avoid another hic-up right now(laziness i know)
Thanks man.

If it's anything like the turbonetics one, then no. You should be good. When I did mine, it was brand new though so I didn't really have any issues with it at all. I don't remember the valve having to be removed or anything--which makes sense since the spring is just to help provide positive pressure on the plunger.

I'd say just do it. Honestly if you're nervous about the torque spec lube up the cap screws with some loctite and tighten it down until it bottoms out and can't be more than finger tight.
