Torque specs for putting turbos back together

Okay for some reason I cant find the area in the FSM where the torque specs are for reassembling turbos that were disassembled. I have my turbos apart for porting the wastegate and no idea what the housing bolts and oil and coolant banjo bolts specs are.

Another question as well, Inspecting my turbos it may be possible that their blown, Ive never had any smoke on them at all, Primary turbo looks to be in some oil but can be from the PCV system. Turning them there is maybe 1mm of play, but they are also not free moving, meaning there is some resistance when turning them.

Just tighten up snug. For the banjo bolts, you can typically "feel" when the washer crushes when you tighten them up.

None of those fasteners are crazy tight, either.

1/4 turn past snug is my rule of thumb.
