The Digijet (for 1.9l) system has an ECU forward of the left taillight, a vacuum advance on the distributor, and an green or black plastic idle stabilizer box mounted below and forward of the ignition coil.

The Digifant (for 2.1l) has an ECU mounted in the cabin under the rear seat, no vacuum piping to distributor, and a prominent idle stabilizer valve (like those on Jettas etc) plumbed into the rubber gooseneck from the airbox, and bypassing the throttle body.

Most (maybe all?) 1.9 >> 2.1 conversions retain the 1.9 injection/ignition system.

As you say. If you "Reply All" the answer will go to both list and original sender. There are various philosophies about this. For myself, I generally prefer to send answers both to author and list, even if it is a subject already well -- yea, even wearisomely -- covered. That way 1) the list knows that the question has been responded to and not dropped into limbo, and 2) the author gets a personal reply in case his access to listmail is less regular than personal mail. YMMV.
