Question E55 throttle body torx torque specs

Does any one know the torque specs for the 4 torx to the supercharger? Couldn't find them anywhere .

Which 4 TORX are they? Either way it's aluminium, don't go crazy and you'll be fine.

Pretty sure he is just talking about the 4 torx bolts that hold the throttle body on... just took mine off this morning to tear out the injectors for upgrade and they were just beyond tight... prolly something stupid low like 8- 12ft/lbs

Snug em up nice and let that gasket do its job

BoostedAero is right. They don't need much torque at all. They can snap off pretty easy if you over do them and you don't want to deal with that.
