Roll it onto some bricks Sorry, couldnt resist.That sounds like a resonable goal, but like Mitchell78749 says, gauges before power. THat is cheap insurance against overstressing or over heating, or just plain screwing something up in the engine or trans.
And by gauges, we mean EGT, Boost, Trans temp, & Fuel pressure gauges. There's nothing wrong with working on cosmetics first tho.

alright since you have the w250, you have lots of options to lift it. d250 you can count your options on one hand. what have you already done to it? water temp should usually stay in one place, maybe get hotter towing alot trying to go fast. make sure you have enough coolant in there.
