so, IF i HAD to remove the turbo (let's say a replacement is unattainable), theoretically, can i just install an NA exhaust manifold (which is readily available) and go from there?
NO, the turbo engine won't run hardly at all without a turbo.
I've tried this, After removing the crossover pipe from a perfectly running 603 turbo the car couldn't even get out of a snails path.
The solution is to fix the turbo or find a NA engine
