If you like the car then best have a plan, if not do as most do and film it then stick it on youtube when it blows. Usually a rod pops out the block.
Manual stick it in top and stall it.
Auto the only way you can do it is starve it of air. If you have an induction kit (yes I know on a diesel, how vulgar) smother it with a jacket or something.
On some like the audi engine iirc the pipe from the maf to the turbo is rubber so squash that flat to starve it.
However when a runaway happens that last thing you want to do is stop safely, casually pop the bonnet and deal with it if you can't stall it.
Your instinct is to leg it. Especially if its a big engine like on a dozer etc, they go bang in a big way lol
