Here is some bug that I am experiencing after installing under EFI mode.
1. No Boot Camp Control Panel
---------------------------
Boot Camp
---------------------------
An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings.
You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrative privileges and try again.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
2. No Brightness buttons
Every single function works except this (F1, F2)
Is it just me or any other people experience this issue? (I used bootcamp 4.0 driver)
For all other people who is waiting for d3vi1's application, I did not had chance to use his program but d3vi1 helped me to install it without his application.
If you want to try without his application, get ready for these items.
1. Windows 8 on USB1
- min 8GB required and use UltraISO to make bootable USB.
- DO NOT USE Microsoft tool to create bootable USB since that tool will format your USB as NTFS which is not good for installing Windows 8
2. Extract "bootmgfw.efi" and put into USB1/EFI/Boot/
- you can extract bootmgfw.efi from source/install.wim -> Windows\Boot\EFI\
- extract bootmgfw.efi, put in USB1/EFI/Boot/, rename it to bootx64.efi
3. rEFIT on USB2

4. CLEAN disk WITHOUT ANY PARTITION
- somepeople confuse with clean disk as no data inside. disk has to be without any partition. If you want to wipe out all partitions, use diskutil(OSX) or diskpart(Win7). These utils are commandline based.
5. Bootup with USB2 (Option key during booting)
6. If you go into rEFIT menu, you will see item with efi/boot/bootx86.efi. This is EFI installation of Windows 8.
If you dont have problem with installing windows 8 after these step, you have chance to install Windows 7 as well (no safemode support tho)
