Found this on Ebay. What you guys think about it?

It's a turbo, an intercooler, and some generic piping. There's a clone of an HKS blowoff valve and some silicone couplers thrown in too. There's no telling who actually made the turbo itself - probably a Chinese knockoff called "Carrett"
That seller just throws up the $650 turbo with various car brands sprinkled into the description so you'll hit on it with a search. It doesn't actually mean it'll work for you.

Well as I was saying all the v6 forums. Hotrod did a story on a twin turbo tempest with diesel turbos he got for $150.

(Included this to give props to Twink and his custom supercharged V6. As you V8 people probably don't know about it.)

you can build a turbo kit using any turbo really. I know people that have taken the turbos off of old junker volvos to use on their little 4 bangers.
You can make it work. But it won't work out the box, and the quality will be questionable.
Much cheaper price, but questionable quality and not a bolt on, seems legit to me. But I wouldn't buy it unless I was really hurtin for a turbo and didn't have the funds available.

A decent turbo for these trucks cost more then $600 by itself. The standard t60-1 in the sts kit is like $750 by itself and the optional t67 is a $1000 or so. I'd be very leery of what you get for $600
