I doubt the turbo manifold will work.....your best bet is to buy the correct manifold for your motor and match the flanges. I think the srts turbo is td04 mitsubishi turbo which is fairly easy to match up and I found this website of a guy who custom build manifolds similar to hahns. For 200 dollars (freakin sweet!)

www.car-parts.com is an online salvage yard database. Very handy...
You can always keep checking eBay for a totalled SRT-4, since you're going to need a LOT more than just the engine... If you can find one with a working engine, tranny, manifolds, intercooler, piping, and electronics (PCM, instrument cluster, wiring harnesses) for under $5k shipped/towed, it's worth it. Seats and suspension parts would be a bonus.
Yes, you can hook up the SRT-4 manifold to your engine, you just need the proper adapter (typically runs $150-200). The turbo is part of the manifold on the SRT-4... no flange... But again, a turbo is nothing without the rest of the system. If you don't know what that entails, you have no business attempting a DIY turbo setup as your first project. Sorry if it sounds harsh... You'd save yourself tons of time, money, and heartache just going with one of the bolt-on turbo kits made especially for your car. It's a great way to learn and prepare yourself for the next project/upgrade...
Best of luck!
