Turbo nut torque?

I got the HTT stage III, and I have the 6 point nut which calls for 150 in lbs torque. I don't have an inch lb torque wrench. Is 150 in lbs the equivalent of 12.5 ft lbs? Any advice?

I hope it's 12.5 ft.lbs. I just torqued mine last night. 150 divided by 12.
Need to update my signature with stage III

Here is a question put to me by a spectator when I did mine. Will using a 1/2 to 1/4 in reducer to get a socket on the torque wrench change the reading?

With as little of torque, that is being applied....I would say no.

if it's a short adapter, it will not change the torque output.

12.5lbs should work alright, but I wouldn't use a big wrench! IE using a 75ftlb wrench you'll be more accurate at 12.5 than using a 250ftlb wrench!
