to what torque do you tighten bottom bracket cups
Never used a torque wrench on a bike, just go by feel.
That is a bad idea on carbon fiber bikes.

Depends what you mean by 'cups'. Cup and cone bearings have cups. Outboard BBs for a 24mm Shimano spindle might be colloquially called 'cups' but . . . There is no set torque for the left side cup: too tight and the cup will bind on the bearings. The right side cup is as tight as you can, plus a bit. Often never needs removal.
