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.

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.
