I wouldn't recommend it. That "Foil" is heat shielding to protect some parts from turbo heat.

Leave it alone. People spend good money buying products to do that job to lwoer thier engine bay temperatures. It will change your engine performance and shorten the lifespan of most of the electronics in the engine bay.
