You can get by without those parts.  I don't know what year engine you
are using, but on the earlier injection pumps you can adjust total fuel
injected to be greater - to take advantage of the extra air pushed in
by the turbo.  All that will happen without the pressure diaphram
is that you may go too rich (black smoke) before turbo boost builds
up after nailing the throttle.

The oil drain return fitting is simple to weld into the oil pan.
