Purpose of a blow of valve:

Reduces pressure returning to the turbo when the butterfly valve from the throttle body is shut when you release your foot from the accelerator pedal.

Petrol engines: Fantastic. Works great because you HAVE a butterfly valve to control the engines power

Diesel engines: Pointless. Does not work because diesel engines DO NOT have a butterfly valve controlling the engines power. Pressure from the turbo is directed straight into the intake manifold and used by the cylinders ingesting it as it needs it.

To answer your question: You can't

Hope this helps
