Does anybody know whether the dump valve for an escort RS Turbo (petrol) will work on an escort 1800 Turbo diesel?

why do you believe you want a dump valve anyway? I'll grant you they sound good (like the original Audi Quattro rally cars), but unless it's professionally set up it may destroy your performance. And even if it's prof set up it won't add anything. Unless you have mega turbo lag, all that baloney about keeping the turbo spinning between gear changes is just that - baloney.

Turbo- diesels don't need a dump valve because they run unthrottled.. your never going to get the turbo blowing against a closed throttle like in a petrol turbo during gear changes so no benefit from having one.
