Exhaust housing torque?

Exhaust housing torque?
When it comes to critical mounting surfaces such as manifolds, waterpump etc. I'm a torque ****.
I like to install a turbo by taking off the rear housing and torquing its flange evenly to the manifold, but am then presented with a problem of guessing the toruqe on the bolts holding the housing to the CHRA.
You can't exactly get a torque ractchet on those babies, at least not all of them...may get some with a universal...so what should you do?
I normally just get them all "even" and I've never had a problem, but I'm putting together another setup now and thought I'd pose the question.
1/2 turn past hand tight? 1/4 turn?
BTW - turbo is a GT3574 from A-spec.

If you got your turbo from A-Spec, the info shoulld have come with the turbo as mine did.
From the Garrett spec sheet for GT turbos.
V-band nut: 50 inch pounds except for GT40-50 110-130 inch pounds.
Compressor: 145-165 inch pounds.
Turbine: 185-215 inch pounds.
