Default Found this...so what should I do with it?

I was helping my cousin clean out his gfs garage since it was a huge mess and we found this....






His gfs dad passed away a couple of years back and I guess he left this behind. No one has an idea what it came off of, but anyways her mom let us have it. So what should we do with it? Should we put it in his 04 6.0 rcsb or sell it for funds for a cam or some longtubes?

were definately keeping it, i put it in the back of my truck and left before her mom changed her mind lol
i think he wants to install it but if he decides not too, im sure i can get it for me
but for now were tryna decide if to put it on his truck or not
im pretty sure we can fab up the rest but were both not that turbo smart, especially these rear mount turbos
i found these pics that resemble what we found, i had no idea some rear mounts were mounted all the way back towards the differential

considering how tight the bend is going into the intake manifold and the exhaust flange it is deffinetly for a GM truck/suv. id put it on for sure. If i were doing it tho i may get a new oil pump and make sure that one is in good working order, you know how long its been sitting around?

Well he decided he would rather sell it...how much do you guys think he can reasonably ask for the kit?

he wants to use it but he feels bad since his gf had a really hard time with her dads death, and i guess its just another reminder for her. we never got to meet her dad but from what i know he was a big gearhead. he must of had been saving the turbo for a project and never got to it.

Damn that stinks... i can understand that tho. What if he bought her a truck and put it on for her to drive. That would be a neat deal.
