Spark plug torque

Does anyone know the correct torque for the spark plugs on the new Yaris. 1.33 litre. 1NR-FE engine? I have the information the plugs are ILKAR7B11. (NGK). and the torque is 15 - 20 Nm. This seems high to me, can anyone supply the correct information please?
Regards Geoff Peace.

I would not know why it would be different than a 2007/2008. I just changed mine and I think the ft/lb torque is 22. I pulled the TSB from the Micro Image forum DIY pages. You should be able to Google it as well right?

Just trying to get the correct information to prevent damage by overtightening.

I have an '08 hatch back. 1.5 liter. My spark plugs don't fit in a 14 or 15 mm socket. They fit in a 16 mm socket.
_
I could be wrong, it could be the burnt carbon, but I think it is taking me 22 ft*lbs to take the old ones off.
_
I'm going with 15 ft*lbs of torque. Is 15 ft*lbs incorrect?
_
Does the addition of an extension have to be taken into account when calculating the torque?
_
there is this that I found too:

http://www.autolite.com/media/11853/torquespecs.pdf
_
It only gives specs for 14 or 17 mm. Is this a sign that even though mine don't fit in a 14 mm socket, that they are called that anyway?

apparently NGK Reccomend AGAINST the use of anti-seize provided you don't leave them for 150K+ miles. Nonetheless I used it when replacing my stock ones with NGK Iridium IX plugs..
