Hey, 
its true that there is not a fan on the injectors of the 20v but I think it  is because of the type of injection system. with the electronic injection you have a fuel rail with lots more fuel going through it than is actually needed, this constant flow back to the tank keeps the fuel from vaporizing.

There is no after-run fan to cool injectors in the 200q20v.   They're not 
as close to the turbo as in the 5Ktq, so there's less likelihood 
of  boiling off the fuel, I guess.
