2 MEVI questions - wire size and torque spec for manifold

Can anyone tell me what gauge wire to get for the wiring for the MEVI?
Also, can anyone tell me what the torque spec is for the bolts holding the manifold in place are?

Thanks in advance!

i would recommend 12 or 14 gauge wire.

torque specs are as follows...

rear support bolts = 14-18 ft/lb

egr tube bolts = 6.5 -7.2 ft/lb (1st step) ; 15-20 ft/lb (2nd step)

Throttle body bolts = 7-10 ft/lbs (1st step) ; 13-16 ft/lbs (2nd step)

IACV bolts = 15 ft lbs

front collector bolts = 13-16 ft/lb in the order indicated by the illustration...
