This choice is proving difficult.  .I have found GT2560R's that you recommended but they are a bit expensive,,  (I'm cheap)
I thought this one had pretty much the same specs.

A similar turbo to that one but with a slightly smaller exhaust housing will work fine.
How much boost you use at cruise depends on engine load, my vehicle runs 9psi boost when cruising at 100km/h, the EGT's run around 430 deg C upstream of the turbo in this situation. But planting my right foot delivers 20psi at that rpm.
Unlike a petrol engine, boost at cruise doesn't hurt fuel economy on a diesel, it actually helps a little.
