What are the dangers of replacing my dead turbo.

What are the dangers of replacing my dead turbo.
A few months back i bought my neighbors 1993 6.5L Turbo diesel 2500. Well the turbo works as well as a screen door on a submarine, i mean not a peep. Now, i have the money to get a new one, its in the works and such. Having lived beside this truck for the last 15 years or so, i cant ever remember hearing the turbo spool up, and ive been around it quite a bit over the years. Now my question is, having had the turbo inoperative for possibly years, could there be any issues with simply putting a new one in and firing it up. Intake is perfectly clean, it runs like a champ, always starts up right away, grey smoke on startup.

How do you know the turbo isn't working? Is the shaft seized or broken, or does it smoke a lot? I'm not familiar with these trucks, but factory set-ups are generally designed to be as quiet as economicly possible to avoid NVH complaints from consumers. You're probably right that it's not working, I just would hate to see you spend a bunch of money to replace the turbo and have the truck continue to behave as it already is. And x2 on the boost and pyro gauges.
