There are metal inserts in the MAP sensor hole. Pull them out and use those screws. That's how I did mine.

well i went to the store and got some proper sized allen screws, then i slowly drilled out the holes and then i put the sensor on backwards case they didnt tell me u had to put it opposite of what it is stock, so refusing to take it apart again i think i stripped both screws but thank god they are tight enough, and siliconed them so they cant turn just in case.

And for those who will run into this problem, u need a m6X1 12 mm allen screw since a bolt head will not have enough room it seemed. and slowly slowly drill the hole bigger, the metal insert turns if u do it fast. whatever drill bit just fits in, drill the hole 2 sizes bigger, i forgot what size it was. make sure u step it up one size at a time or it wont work, then if u want do what i did and tape it to m6x1 after which was very easy.

I feel your pain. I will never do business with them again.

You have the stock sensors or GMS1? I used a regular ol m6x1.0 that was the same size as the head light bracket bolts. Worked fine but I have the 3bar (GMS1) sensors...

Amen brotha'. I was shocked to find that the i/c came with NO instructions, the
cold side pipe came with no instructions, bolts/screws OR a coupler. At the time I ordered mine, the site didn't even mention that you need 2.75"->2.5" coupler to hook it up to the throttle body (and it STILL doesn't even after I suggested it). I had to drive 2hr round trip just to get the coupler i needed bc i got sick of waiting for stuff to come through the mail. I can keep going...

Exactly. There's so much more. I have been contemplating making a post about it but Jason was a nice guy despite the issues plus I don't wanna stir the pot but at the same time, it's gonna happen to more people if I don't. Guuuhhh....

Well I'm glad you got it sorted out but still sucks the company left you and others in the dark with that. Definitely made me confirm my choice of sticking with ZZP stuff lol
