Questions about Turbos
Ok, I know little-to-nothing about turbos, or what they cost to buy and/or have installed... I saw this on Ebay though and I'm just wondering if this is actually something cool, or just a bunch of B/S.

That's more like a filter charger, and it's probably not worth the money. A simple CAI would probably be better.
A turbocharger is a lot more complicated than that.
