I would imagine the torque procedures for the studs with fiber and MLS gaskets would be similar to any procedures ARP has for the 4cyl VW engines in their different versions: old 1.6L diesel would have had a fiber gasket and 1.9TD and 1.9TDI would have MLS. Any difference between the procedures for each gasket type with those engines should more or less transfer to the 2.4L I6 version since the hardware is identical and the engines are of similar design (using the 6cyl torque pattern of course). The ARP stud and nut torque specs for the 4cyl engines are probably much easier to find and might give a rough guide. That method might be what other folks have used.

However, confirming the correct procedure and specs firsthand with ARP is a great idea. Please do let us know what answers you find out.
