The sad answer is no, there is no housing that you could just bolt up and use to get the sort of power and more importantly tq that is typical of other kit's using your current manifold.
What you could do however is pick a .82 or .63 A/R regular t3 housing and mate that to any well designed manifold (Shearer, Full-Race, AMS If you want to go tubular, something like the HAFE if you want cast) and then I believe you would pick up a good bit of power, however you will mostlikely be spending close to or over a grand. On the plus side you might be able to sell your manifold and housing.

THE INSTALL HAS BEGUN!
Parts added
- ATP 3076R - with port matched housing
- Walboro 255lph pump
- Denso 720cc Injectors
- Megan Header
I may port the manifold to the head - depending on the diff's I measure after removing the oem manifold.
Should be installed very shortly.

Thank you, Az!
After about 3 hours the ATP is in - somewhat. I'm checking the fitment of each hose, connection, clamp - etc. And, I work slow.
I measured the ports on the Megan manifold to the head and they are .2" smaller - horz and .1" vertical compared to OEM. So I ported the Megan to half of what was needed - meaning, .1" larger, horz and .05", vert. I didnt want to go too deep and risk removing too much material.
Updates
And those of you with a keen eye will pick up on why I chose the Megan header - to bolt up to the ATP housing

you think the angle of the exhaust gasses enterint the turbo will be better with the megan mani?
Good luck with the install. I found it much easier to remove the radiator when I took my turbo out though. The cardboard is definately a good idea.

Yep. That was the idea. Granted - I know very little about fluid dynamics, here. Visually, it simply looked like a better option than the OEM manifold.

Sorry to go slightly off topic but this could be intresting as was requested by:
EvoIXMR " wish someone made a bolt-on turbo for the Evo that is ball-bearing and doesnt suck - Wish Forced Performance or AGP turbo could step up to the plate! "
They do they do check this link: http://www.evo400.co.uk/index.php?catPath=76

ATP- These guys, much like many other companies, are out there tuning EVO's to turn a profit, not because they love it so much and they Snuggle with there evo @ night. If AL couldnt get it to make any power with his tuning then im pretty sure no one can. SO
to ATP Stock style setup
Smoking Joe- I wish you all the luck in your adventure to make more power and to try and prove people wrong. However, you paid short money for this kit, so i cant really blame you for trying. whatever right ?
Worst comes to worst You can always sell it.
For everyone else paying the 2300 for the ATP turbokit. Save your pennies, break you piggy bank and scramble up another 1200 bucks and go buy a respectable turbokit. Save yourself the aggrivation, and **** beating from EVOm Guru's and old folk that have already told you the same thing 20000 times that AMS, SBR, BR are those prices for a reason. We say to get them for a reason, They make good power, and are actually pretty good bangs for the buck when you consider some of the crap that Greddy, and HKS sells. Most of these kits will not only out perform, but out due them in almost anyfield and area ESP the Bottom line. [B]PRICE[/B]
Here you Guys go
SBR GT35R turbo kit.
AMS GT 35r Turbo Kit
Buschur Racing gt35r Turbo Kit
I picked the 35r because its just an example. Same goes for the 3076, 50 trim ECT

Don't even mention SBR :

I would go with Ams to be sure everything is 100%.
