You'll need to use a "Diesel" Tacho which gets it's signal from the alternator. You then connect it to the "W" terminal of the alternator. Not all alternators have this terminal, but it's not a major job to have the alternator modified to add the wire into it.

In the turbo diesel 80series, the tacho signal comes from the injection pump
