Should be a Digi as my late 87 is a digi.

If there are loads of pipes coming out of the top of the airbox it's a Kjet. If it has two small ones from the side and no others it's a digi.

Hope this helps (I had the same questions when I bought mine!)

^ LOL.. was thinkin that too...


just to clear some things up....

1) can we see better pics of the 2 diff types of airbox?  the digi one sounds similar to whats on my mk3 valver (not a surprise since its run by Digifant v3.2)

2)   on those pics.. the throttle body is on the opposite side? (for a UK car) drivers side for Digi, passenger side for k-jet.

3) where is the ISV on the k-jet.. the digifant one is blatantly obvious.

8V k-jet doesn't have an ISV. Certainly not on mk1's, never seen it on mk2's either but I stand to be corrected.
