I bought some torrified wheat, whole grains. I realized I have no idea how to use it. I was planning on putting it in with the mash. Is that right?

I obviously plan on cracking it, but I have no idea what you're saying about diastic power. Can you elaborate on that? I assume that it has to do with the enzymatic properties of the other malts, but since I've never done a true mash, mostly just steeping, I don't know much about this. Your feedback is apprecciated.
You are correct, the diastic power is refering to the grains ability to convert other grains in the mash.
Doing a mini mash isn't that much different than doing a steep. Just limit the amount of water you use to 1.5 qts / lb of grain and use an equal amount of pale malt to whatever other grains you are using. The pale malt will convert the other starches too.

Thanks. I guess I need to get some pale malt.
