    Turbo diesels don't have/need diverter/blow off valves and fitting one would reduce performance and possibly damage the turbo

    adrian,

    you cant have a BOV. Diesels don't use a throttle body, so they are not useful or even implementable.

    Perhaps your mechanic can install it somewhere (glovebox perhaps) but thats not likely what you're after.
