Bolts attaching snailshells to main

Anyone know what the 1/2" bolts holding the snailshell halves to the oil supply block should be torqued to?? The wastegate bracket is held by 1 bolt and the rest were not finger loose but easily turned by my wrench... Thinking ATS purposely didn't tighten the bolts down...? Would that lead to boost leaks and oil leaks? Also my valley is wet with diesel but can't seem to see from where....thanks on any help!

you have to have a certain amoun of posts before the signature works i belive its something like 5. dont quote me on that one tho im not sure. check the top of your engine for fuel. it may be leaking form the return lines like os many others.

Checked everything over. The truck won't even start now. Not getting any fuel... The solenoid doesn't click anymore. I was removed/unplugged the main harness on the drivers inner fender to do some work. Now it won't start. Any ideas now?? Need the truck tomorrow morning....
