Torque specs for turbo impeller?

Hello everybody:

I'm putting in a GDS 60mm and did not get the torque spex from the vendor (and my FSM is hiding out...). Would anyone have that info.?
Thanks y'all

Someone else will need to verify this but it's something like 100 INCH (not foot pounds) pounds.

12 inch pounds = 1 foot pound.

So if it is actually 100 inch pounds (I can't remember but I think that's what it is) 100 in. lbs = 8.33 ft. lbs.

It depends on the number of points on the nut. 6 or 12 point. I had to ask the same question when my 60 gds came. Sorry I don't remember the rating, just be sure on the inch and not foot lbs as said above. Someone will pull the rating out of there brain.

My book says 129 inch-lbs.

And be double sure your torque wrench works counter-clockwise. A broken shaft will spoil your day.
