I believe that torque is 63 ft-lb. I also support that you replace the bolts as Porsche recommends. There are two reasons, one being that when a bolt is highly torqued it stretches. The next time you torque it stretches again. Do that a few times and now the bolt can snap under the tensile stress of tightening. The 2nd reason is Porsche applies a coating to the threads, at least that is the case on some model replacements. The coating is a special anti seize since the bolt screws into an aluminum carrier plate.
By the way some newer bolts use a Torx, I think T55 while the originals may be a hex. Be prepared.
