found an HX55 and have a question

hey guys, i have my truck in my shop for winter so i am going to get it ready for paint and fix whats leaking for seals. anyway i have tossed around the idea of twins for my truck. the motor when i had it out last winter got head studs so i think it will be ok for twins. so anyway i was at work cleaning up and organizing and opened a genuine cummins box and under the dust was a complete HX55 with waste gated exhaust housing and everything. i spun the compressor wheel and it was smooth as well as no play. we change them at 7000hr just because a maintenace thing. so i still need to ask what they want for it or whats happening with it but will this work in a twin application with my hybrid HX35?
