What you have to remember Carl is diesel engines are limited by the amount of fuel they can consume whereas petrol engines are limited by the amount of air they can consume. Putting more fuel into a diesel (by one means or another) is the only way to make more power.
Youv'e obviously never seen a diesel running on it's sump oil, scarry stuff!
The particle filters and catylysts will be rated to operate over a range. If you subject it to conditions outside of it's design parameters then there will be the possibility of premature failure as with all things.

Chris
