I do remember hearing about a 3.0L V-6 turbo in a van, so it's possible but far less likely than for a 2.2L. Just a word of caution though, Dodge was notorious for using undersized turbos in their vehicles to gain quick spool up. If this is not a V-6 and turns out to be a 2.2 (which is by far more common) the turbo is far too small to do much good for anything.
On the 2.2, Dodge used a .42 compressor housing with a .48 turbine housing. This will cause too little air to flow on our 2.8L(maybe 3-4 psi boost tops (edited "before hitting the surge line"), at too low an RPM (3500 max before the exhaust begins to lock up). Great for burning off the tires but hurts performance far too much any performance above 3500.
For an adequate 2.8L, you need a .60 Compressor housing with either a .62 or .82 turbine housing as per the turbo calculators @ Ray Hall Turbocharging. http://www.turbofast.com.au
Before getting too involved, do you homework and you'll save $$$ in the long run.
