I had the same problem. I enlarged the hole two drill bit sizes, sorry I do not remember what size I ended up with. Its a real PITA to install if not lined up properly, there is a wave in my brace and I ended up snapping a one of the bolts. I then got the Moroso stud kit and installed it.



Then after it was done torquing I forgot to put the engine mount bolts in.... I hope that will not cause a problem I am sure/hope the pressure from the brace made it nice and snug.

two on the turbo side...center (iron) section and the next one to it on front rotor housing. Drilled towards pan and forward. Then in front lip two holes . Expanded those also based on others that were correct.
