no that will not bolt on and work with stock manifold.

Reasons:
-The stock turbo uses an internal wastegate, even if you can bolt the turbo to your exhaust manifold (both T3 flanges) if you don't have a wastegate the system has no way to control boost. Have a look at this article to help explain exactly How Internal wastegates and External wastegates work.
-The downpipe flange will not match. (oem turbo uses a 5 bolt nissan style outlet for the internally wastegated turbo.)

***If you want an stock location upgraded turbo (bolt on to existing manifold/DP) what you have there is not it. If you are planning to use a new turbo manifold setup for external wastegate and then build a downpipe to fit the new setup you are good to go.
