Hello and welcome to the forum.

If this is the 180bhp cupra, and we are talking about the 3 turbo-exhaust manifold bolts, then the haynes says 30Nm or 22lbf ft. It also says to use thread locking compound on them.

30nm that was not much,

Its the bolts from manifold to turbo

I don't think it needs to be super tight, just tight enough to stop any gas leaking out. I have double checked for you and it is definitely 30nm/22 lbf ft from manifold to turbo. That is maybe why it says to use thread lock too?
.
Manifold to turbo: 30nm 22lbf ft

Turbo to exhaust downpipe: 40nm 30lbf ft

Turbo to support bracket 30nm 22lbf ft
