On a D, I hear that because there is no vacuum in the inlet manafold, There are a lot of expencive sensors you can get, but not likely to be worth spending that much.

i asked a guy who had one on you tube and he said...
"Didn't make a manifold, dump-valve works with under-pressure... Turbo from diesel doesn't have it but I had one with a home-made system ;-) If you understand the working of a dump-valve and you know where to find underpressure on a diesel... "
this is his car
