18ft/lbs has been successfully used on the plenum cover but...
I snapped one oy my bolts when torquing to that level (it was a re-torque when installing a second time), and IMHO it may be more than necesssary for the 8 plenum cover bolts.

After that, I've been using 12ft/lbs without issue.

I also decided to do without the potential gains of the plenum spacer due to the height of the IM with my Mace 25mm. Just my preference (or laziness).
