bov's can only be fitted in turbocharged engines

Turbochargers introduce large amounts of pressurized air into your engine. When your throttle plate closes however, this airflow has nowhere else to go but backwards, which sends it back towards the compressor. This pressure wave tries to reverse the rotation of the compressor which at times can be spinning at many tens of thousands of rpms, and the resulting stress can cause failure of the bearings or the turbo itself. What a blow-off valve or recirculation valve does then, is give this pressure wave a place to go, reducing stress on the turbo and improving response.

is it possible to install a BOV to a diesel?

If it's a turbo diesel yes.

But why? The turbos on diesels spool up at much lower rpms than on performance cars, you will have whoosh whoosh sounds coming everytime you let go of the throttle.
