If it is the 2860 turbo there could be some issues, but if it was the upgraded turbo to the 2871 then I see no issues other than the fuel management. I'm just not up on that box.

Why would the turbo size make a difference? The M8 kits run a 2860RS or you can upgrade to the 2871. The only difference in those two turbos is the compressor wheel exducer diameter, the 2871 is larger by 11mm but the housing and inducer diameter is the same at 53.85. I'm not sure if everything will physically fit like its supposed to, i.e. charge tube, intake manifold and so on, but if that fit then it should work. I could see issues going the other way, if the M8 kit was pump gas b/c the M7 doesn't have a det sensor and is less compatible with pump gas kits.

I was not aware that they used the 2860 on the race gas kit. If so, then I say got for it. That is interesting though.
