Hello,

The spacers go behind the side tabs not the top bracket. Try that and let me know how it goes.

I actually did that as first but the top bracket starts to bend. The mounting bolt seems to be higher
​​​​and I did some searching and it looks like the usdm Evo has another hole below the 2 holes that you can see on the picture which my JDM doesn't have

​​​​​​Thanks!

The hole in the USDM cars below that is a through hole. The bottom of those 2 should be the one it goes in. If you send us an email to sales@extremeturbosystems.com or give me a call @ 360-896-3000 we can get it figured out.
