EVO 8 & EVO 7 performance parts compatibility?

Fellas I have an LHD EVO 7 which I believe is the international spec.

Anyways I am ordering all the parts available from APS for the US spec EVO 8 and I would like to know if I will have any trouble fitting them on my EVO 7.

here are the parts.

3.5 Turbo Back
Front Mount Intercooler with complete piping, turbo to throttle.
Cold Air intake
Water Sprayer resevoir
Dual Vent BOV
Dual Ball Bearing turbo Kit
Intake Manifold

Here is a link,

all the parts are interchangable except for the exhaust; it might not match ur rear bumper properly if it was built for a USDM evo VIII... other than that everything else should be a direct fit
good luck

thanks for the replies.

so the intercooler should be fine?

and about the exhaust, do you mean that the exit on the bumper might be on the other side? or the actual bumper being a bit different that the tip or muffler might rub?

the JDM bumper (or evo 7 bumper) is shorter than the USDM one (the exit is on the same side, dont worry)
so if an exhaust system is made to fit the USDM bumper, it will stick out "too much" for an evo7

the fmic should be fine; people had been swapping evo 7 front bumper on evo 8's with no modifications... it should be a direct fit

according to z1auto.com, RA intercooler piping for jdm spec cars require some modifications to fit us spec so it might be the same if you try and fit us spec intercooler pipes to a international spec evo.
