Looks good - just torqued mine down last night as well! Was it a PITA for you too? lol It just didn't want to cooperate with me for some reason and I had it on an engine stand! I could get one side of bolts started but starting the other side was a bugger. It seemed the holes didn't want to line up until the manifold was torqued down, but how do you torque it down when you can't get the bolts started... ehhh! It looked like the heads were likely removed from it at some point so I'm thinking the PO had the heads milled as that would move the intake bolt holes down and accentuate my odd issue I was having.
But persistance won Hoping I'll be picking up a turbo tomorrow.

Mine gave me a little trouble not with torque but I had to cut some bolts cause I didn't put the engine lift hooks (or whatever you call them) back so my bolts where to long.....then I have to try and thread cut bolts into the hole...that was fun lol

Back right (pass rear) corner mainly if I remember right... lol I put my lift hooks back on but I didn't put them in when I was trying to get the manifold to suck down enough to get all the bolts started and saw that they got tight before contacting the manifold. At least we know there's maximum thread use!
