Proper torque for the nuts on the block side of of the turbo oil pipe?

I finally got the Supra back together but discovered an oil leak from the turbo oil return pipe at the block.

I started reading through the TSRM tonight to prepare for replacing the gasket on this pipe again this weekend and noticed something odd.

On page TC-9 they show the torque for these nuts at 25 foot-pounds.

But then on page TC-16 they show the torque as 9 foot-pounds. (With the 25 for the union bolt on the block side of the feed.)
http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=TC&P=16

I am inclined to believe that page TC-16 is correct (this is the torque setting I used) and TC-9 is just a misprint, but can anyone confirm the correct torque for these nuts?

Thanks as always!

Yeah, 9 seemed right to me based on the stud size. Was kind of hoping maybe it was 25 and my leak is the result of way too low of torque. Looks like the turbo is coming off again :(

Thanks for the response!
