This differs between the old style hex bolts (which you shouldnt be using now) and the spline heads. I'll check the bentley manual and post back unless someone gets there first.

Bentley quotes for torx bolts; 1 ,22ft.lb. 2, 90degree torque angle. 3,90degree torque angle.For hex bolts;30 ft.lb,wait 15 min then 44ft.lb,then with engine at operating temp 25 degree torque angle.
