Nope, temp sensor for injector cooling fan is one wire, and it's attached to
the wastegate shield, which mounts on the valve cover.

The cold start injector is near there, but it's not anywhere near the
wastegate.  There isn't anything electrical connected to the wastegate --
it's only got "vacuum" lines going to it.

Now you've got me curious.  When I get home, I'll have to look under the
hood of the 5ktq.
