A jet engine that uses thrust as it's reaction doesn't have torque in the literal sense. A gas turbine that drives a transmission or gearbox to a rotor system or propeller (turbo-prop) does produce torque and this is purely a factor of how much fuel and air you can push through it. This is determined my maximum operating pressures and temperatures that the engine can sustain.
More air + More fuel = Larger engine and/or higher rotational speeds of compressor/turbines

Power for a jet engine is measured by how much thrust it produces. The only torque that I know of that the FAA cares about is how much torque load may be applied to the engine mounts due to a sudden stoppage.
