It *is* a turbo.  2-cycle diesels are nearly always turbocharged or
supercharged because it helps with cylinder scavenging.  By having some
overlap where the exhaust is open and the intake ports are uncovered
simultaneously, the airflow from the turbo pushes the last of the
exhaust out of the cylinder.

I'm kind of curious how much boost they're running.
