There's normally a piece of paper in the headgasket packaging that gives you the torque setting recommended by the gasket manufacturer.

It IS a new gasket, isn't it?

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

That sounds about right to me, although my 16v had one 180 degree turn at the end not, two 90 degrees.

SDall, Remember theres a bolt sequence too!!
