Using it as just a pickup you will never know the difference.
If you want to work it make sure you install a pyrometer and watch it pulling loads.
Lots of 6.2's got turbo'ed with kits,or replaced broke 6.5's as you have found.

Attachment 5789Here is a photo of my waste gate. Normally open or normally closed? On a second note the compressor wheel doesn’t look good. Are these easy to rebuild turbos? I’ve rebuilt some old air research turbos. Or does anyone have one they want to sell?
Someone added that spring to make it a manual wastegate. Somewhere on this site there is a photo from about 20 years ago of an emergency repair I made when my vacuum pump failed 200 miles from home. It looks amazingly like yours. The spring is pulling it shut. Back pressure forces it open.
[Edit] Found it...
