70? that seems like an awful lot, are you sure?

As for the turbine-to-manifold bolts, just use the PFT method of tightening.

I just put mine back on and checked the manual first. I was shocked how low it was. Course with a 18" long torque wrench it wont ever seem like much.

2001 manual says:

39-46 N-m / 3.9-4.7 kgf-m / 29-33 ft-lbf
