The K-jet runs on a mechanical injection system which can be identified by a unit on top of the air box that has braided hoses coming off and going to the engine (these are the injector lines)

The Digi system is an electronic controlled injection system.

I will see if i can find some pictures of both for you.

I've got a full Remus exhaust system and it is amazing.  Doesn't sound like a broken bus when driving around normally and sounds like a real sports car when giving it some!
