I'm just speculating but if it were me I would want to know the answer to that question before I installed this insulation.
My fears as well though you don't get them shipped to the UK anyhow.

I believe that the Turbo can run very hot and although I hate the diesel clatter when pulling away, it's not noticeable once moving.

Would prefer to have had some insulation though
