    They should always be torqued up when properly lubed, I thought. Or you get false readings as the friction varies.

    Unless you use an angle gauge and do it by ° and not by torque.

    10.9 - 65nm
    12.9 -90nm

    or use the arp f4r stud set which will also fit f7p/f7r and should also fit the b18 head as they seem to share the same length head bolt as f7p/f7r--good for 130nm(for big boooost)
