Probably not Michael, at last directly.  I believe the two turbos may,
or usually use a different size shaft.  Something like an 8mm shaft
and sleeve bearing in the stock K24's, vs. (I'm guessing a bit here)
perhaps a 10mm shaft and center sleeve bearing set up in the K26
family.  But, there is a lot of "mixing & matching" that goes on out
there so I certainly wouldn't put it past a good custom turbo rebuild
shop to be able to do something like this.
