You want to UPGRADE the turbo on that truck? Here's a link to that turbo... http://www.holset.co.uk/files/2_1_1_3-Holset%20HX35.php From how you worded the above, I'm really confused on what you have in there and what your buddy is giving you.
Turbocharger upgrades are tricky -- what's your reasons for wanting a turbo upgrade? You should be able to put a lot of flow through the stock turbo. Upgrading would most likely require new injectors, new fuel pump, ECU reprogramming, etc, and could severely damage your engine. Also, make sure a diesel mechanic that has experience with those trucks is doing the work. The only reason you would want a turbo upgrade is if your turbo right now is busted (refurb the same one) or you've already topped out that truck's performance with every other mod you can think of. Don't rice out a 3500.
Additional: The valves you have aren't of importance -- I'd recommend learning what a turbo is and how it works first before you think about doing this.

The HX35 (stock turbo) is good for a bout 35-40 psi max. Not sure about the model your getting (I haven't heard of it). I don't know if the other model is a direct bolt on or not, nor how what size the turbo is.
If the turbo housing is much larger than your current model, you will not benefit from it because a stock truck will not spin it hard enough to build any more pressure. To benefit from a larger turbo, you will need to be adding more fuel (chip, injectors, or p7100 pump). A hand-held programmer is a good way to 'stack' chips or electronic mods, but a programmer alone will not be enough of an increase to make the need for a larger turbo.
Remember, stock head gaskets are also good till about 35psi. Most of them blow around 40-45psi (though some stay together...

Beware of those bearing free turbos! A turbo in need of an overhaul isn't worth a whole lot. Look inside and make sure the tips of the impellers don't show signs of rubbing inside the housing. Check for play in the shaft...side to side as well as up and down. If you feel any thing, it's overhaul time. The shaft should spin easily and smoothly although it's best to not set there all day spinning the shaft without a supply of oil. Oil inside the suction side means bad seals although you can't tell on the exhaust side because it would have been burned up in the exhaust. A turbo that's too small will spin too fast and either build too much boost or tear itself apart. One too big will spin too slowly and won't build boost at low engine rpm's.

If it doesn't have a turbo on it now then I would do some checking before fitting. Most turbo engines have low compression pistons and if your Cummings diesel has high compression pistons it'll go like stink for awhile but you could end up paying more than 2000 dollars. You may run into trouble with detonation.
