The head is torqued in three stages in the proper sequence...It's 20nm (15 ft/lbs) then 90 degrees, and the 90 degrees again... This is the updated and preferred way to do the head.

There are three different ways of tightening the cylinder head, dependant on engine type.
BTW, why are you working on the 944 without proper information being available? There are numerous other torque settings required. Valve height must be measured or the hydraulic lifters will not work correctly. If the head is machined below a certain thickness you will need a different head gasket..etc, etc.............
