As a rough baseline guide with stock rods, from what I have seen, keep peak TQ under 1200ftlb and try to have it ramp up more gradually. There is more to it and seen the dyno CP data Dave@ Swamps has been nice enough to post up and share the combustion event and how it effects CP, more complex but you do have a basic relation of TQ to Cylinder pressure and the stress on the bottom end and twisting/tq of the block thus making bad things happen.
Keep TQ@ 1200 or under and stretch the power band into the higher rpms as much as possible would be how I would go about it. Nice thing with a waste gate is you can also tune it so the boost does not hit like a ton of bricks all at once but have it bleed a bit to have it come on smoother and keep the traction better. Especially true with a smaller ratio turbine setup
I have never personally Nos a diesel (only gasser) but based on what I have seen I would not NOS a turbo that was setup to have decent street response in terms of turbine wheel and housing size without a gate. It jacks up exhaust/backpressure and can tear up the turbo.
