Diesels can spool up some huge turbos because the engines themselves are ------- huge.
A turbo that makes 500hp on a disel engine is good for at least 700 on a petrol engine, for some reason diesels need bigger turbos to make the same kind of power as a petrol engine.

A gasoline engine compresses at a ratio of 8:1 to 12:1, while a diesel engine compresses at a ratio of 14:1 to as high as 25:1. The higher compression ratio of the diesel engine leads to better efficiency.
maybe thats how they are able to spool those massive snails

Oh, and there's a kickass diesel in the october edition of 4Wheeler magazine.
Chevy Suburban with a 5.9L 24valve cummins engine, fed 150psi boost by a couple of Holset turbos. 1022rwhp and 3400ft.lb torque.
