There was a running change (and perhaps a TSB) that put a hole in the injector 
fan shroud so that some of the air on its way to cool the injectors themselves 
would escape and blow across under the bonnet to cool the fuel lines.  I've 
never seen an ur-quattro without this hole, but on the early ones it's always 
roughly cut and varies in size.  On the later ones, it's moulded into the 
shroud.
