Default i found a turbo?

im stationed in okinawa and me and my buddy where bored so we went looking for rims for his car and i came across this turbo. i dont have any info about it idk what size it is all i know is it is made by KKK and they only want 80 dollars for it because it came off a wrecked car, it doesnt look dammaged and the inside looks good. so my question is will it work on a 5.3 or would it be useless because it was made for an import

You would really have to know what flange, what compressor housing, etc to really be able to be sure... It looks like its connected to the turbo beside it
