Most deisel engines red-line around 2000 rpms, and have about a 52:1 compression ratio, don't need plugs because they run off of detonation, and have rods the size of a cow's leg bones. BOV's aren't necessary. Turbos for diesel engines are gigantic in comparison to turbos for gasoline engines and with the low RPMs, they don't see a lot of abuse.
