no.

the stock turbo has an internal but manifold doesn't.
to fit an external you will need to make a custom manifold or some sort of adapter between turbo and manifold.

also i high doubt you could even run a big enough turbo to require an external turbo.

at least your running a 3 litre 8)

2.4 diesel is a slug off the line at the best of times, it will be a snail with a really big turbo. better to rip the 2.4 out and fit 2.8 or 3 litre in there.
