Turbo Swap Question
I have access to a turbo off an 03 2500 fairly cheap. Is it possible to put it on the 91.5 or is it to big or too much trouble?

Do you know which one it is?

All i know right now is it came off an 03. I dont mind making a downpipe, just need to know if the housing is too big to do any good. I'm afraid it would hurt more than help.

I don't think it'd be worth the trouble. It will have the 9cm housing, which will tend to choke the engine at higher RPMs. Also, I don't think the 3rd gen compressors are much, if any, bigger than ours until 04 or 04.5, but I don't remember exactly.
You'd be better off buying a used 12cm housing for your stock turbo.

You will need a custom downpipe, and if you add big injectors you will outgrow that turbo very quickly. I'd do a turbine housing swap (12 cm wastegated is awesome on a 5 speed) and get compressor upgrade from Gillett or HTT instead.
