I'm not familiar with turbo TD42s, but I am familiar with turbos, and if you want to run high boost, a small waste gate is fine. Even a 38mm gate can bleed plenty of exhaust with a well designed manifold.
BTW the holset hx35 on my tractor (around 6 litre diesel) has no waste gate at all.

true,mmm got me thinking though when I took my 300kw r32 for a tune the tuner mentioned that my 44m wastgate was to small and it was causing boost creep, just wondering if because I'm going for a smaller power figer on my td42 if I would get away with a smaller gate

Less worry in a diesel other than boost creep dragging your afr lean. As blake said most tractors trucks run nothing but the turbos work in a narrow powerband governed by the pump. Personally ill try without on my next buildup. But im running twinscroll and two wastegates would be necessary if it does spool up enough.
