The torque specs for the crank pulley bolt are 110 ft lbs according to Haynes manual but that is pretty hard to believe.

That's right for the crank pulley - 110, but that's not the flywheel. Chilton lists flywheel torqe specs for all other models besides the non-turbo 2.0L.

1.8L : 94-101 ft lbs.
2.0L 90-94 : 22 ft lbs.
2.0L 95-98 turbo : 98 ft lbs.
2.4L : 98 ft lbs.

Maybe we're similar to the 2.0L 95-98 turbo torque settings. I really don't know. Anyone?

98ftlbs is way to tight i wouldn't tighten it more then about 45 most other cars mustang and such that are non modular are like 22-30ftlbs
