Torque, at most, will probably be around 160 ft-lbs. With your standard 7,000 RPM redline that at most amounts to ~213 hp.
However, estimates (rumors) have suggested 200 hp which, when combined with a standard 7,000 RPM redline, should give a solid 150 ft-lbs of torque.

Peak hp rarely comes at the same place as peak tq.
Really, I'm not expecting 180 ft-lbs, that'd be setting myself up for disappointment, as 180ft-lbs from a 2.0 engine that isn't NA or a diesel is pretty hard. I did say what would make me happy didn't I?
I do however expect at least 165ft-lbs, ~140-150 being the market standard and ++the compression ration w/ direct injection ought to net a pretty decent torque improvement.
