I’ve searched and no luck.

What is the torque setting for the power steering mounting bolts on a 96 B4?
pulley to pump bolts - 18 ft lbs
pump to bracket - 15 ft lbs
base bracket to block - long bolt - 18 ft lbs, short bolt 15 ft lbs
base bracket to pump mount bracket - oval opening - 15 ft lbs, long bolt at top pivot - 18 ft lbs, all others 15 ft lbs
steel adjusting bracket to block - 15 ft lbs
adjustment bolt (with toothed nut) - 18 ft lbs

I think this covers everything. If in doubt just torque to 18 ft lbs and I think you'll be fine. IIRC I probably torqued mine higher than this since these numbers seem a little light to me.
