Turbo piping vs Fuel lines

So I'm curious if anyone has run into a situation involving the close-ness of fuel lines to hotside turbo piping.

We've been eyeing some possibilities for the season, but our situation is as follows;

Fuel lines run up Pass side rail, before coming up firewall and going to braided line for the rail. The best place to fit the snail would be passenger side in the old battery tray area.
This means exhaust side would come out the back of the turbo, and pass directly beneath the fuel lines before running under the truck. It also means that the fuel lines and the exhaust would be 3-4" apart, for about 4 feet under the truck. I'm a little worried about the pre heating of the fuel like that, just having seen what boiled fuel can do.

So, is there an option? Wrapping or sheilding either the pipe or the fuel lines?
