Two relatively simple questions....

On an external wastegate, are you guys just running a screamer pipe or do you have the dump worked back into the downpipe?

Would an aftermarket top feed fuel rail from an SR work on the KA to use top feeds on the motor?

Thanks!

"screamer pipe" is pretty accurate to what you get if you dump it, but there are also power gains made by not routing it back to the exhaust.

Dump or recirculate is a personal choice. recirculate is good for quiet, dump is good for noise and more power.

No, the fuel rails mount differently.

And scaring the **** out of fellow motorists. Personally, I like "low key" stuff, but I figure if you're running a big FMIC and a 3" exhaust then what's a little wastegate noise on top of that.
