way too cheap to be worth a damn. You would have to custom fab an exhaust manifold to mount the turbo, not to mention the turbo is too small for your truck. Thats a small V6 turbo at best. Has no tuning options...... I could go on.
Get a STS turbo system.

There is no way your lucky to find a good one for that price they normally go upwards of 500 just for the turbo

If you want a quality kit make for your dakota, you need to talk to Tom, he was the first person to fab a twin turbo kit for a stock 5.9 r/t. Its not cheap for the TT setup, for for a single turbo kit he might be able to do something in a decent price range. Your looking at over over 3k for a quality kit and good turbo.

DFWDakotas sponsors his truck which has the tt kit.

You can contact him at tomslick@sparepartsracing.com

Keep in mind he is a very busy guy. So turn around time might take awhile, don't email him unless your serious about it. Hes a nice guy, but don't waste his time. Like i said your looking to spend a pretty penny.

He will be doing my tt kit for me when my truck is done.
