Some turbos designed for use on diesels have different shaft/bearing seals. Often the compressor side of things is not the standard carbon face seal. Can lead to oil being drawn in by vacuum. Diesels are often not throttled like a gas engine. So they never really see any intake vacuum. But, if you're throttled after the turbo it doesn't really matter.
