It will be cheaper to replace the turbo as you would have to change too much to not run turbo, Your car is set up to run turbo so will run lower compression than non turbo version meaning it will feel pretty guttless without it. i hope this helps.

Personally I would NOT drive it. Get the turbo repaired/replaced! Modern vehicles have engine sensors that will cause even more running problems as they aren't detecting the turbo doing it's job.
Diesels will run without a turbo but they are usually ridiculously slow and really really struggle to accelerate.This is especially true on smaller diesel engines like those you get in cars and smaller vehicles. I had a turbo fail on a 2.0 litre diesel engine and with my foot hard down it took me well over a minute to hit 50mph, and that was before I got to any hills.
Describing a turbo as gone bad doesn't adequately describe what happened to it and why. A turbo is a very strong and reliable bit of equipment that will give long service as long as it isn't abused. Assuming you didn't abuse it there will be a reason why it failed and it is important to discover the reason and if possible rectify the fault before or during the turbo replacement.
When replacing a turbo it is best practice to change the engine oil and filter and verify there is a good supply to the turbo and the drain back into the oil pan is clear. The intake must be checked and thoroughly cleaned of any and all foreign objects along with all the high and low pressure trunking and the intercooler. If the old turbo broke up it is important all the bits are found - because if part of the compressor is missing it could have been ingested by the engine or is perhaps lodged in the manifold or a port waiting to cause further expensive damage and inconvenience...
If the turbo went bad because of bearing and seal failure there could be quite a lot of oil in the exhaust system. If there is, it can take quite a long time for it to disappear. If you analysed the reason for the turbo failure correctly and fitted the replacement using best practice and the engine is running ok, you can be confident the smoke and oil drops will eventually clear. You should of course confine your driving to quiet country roads until it does.
Your bigger problem is that it is not going to run very well without the turbo unless you increase the compression ratio and revise the fueling to suit. I doubt that this will be a successful conversion otherwise.
OK, your turbo is bad now.
Sometimes bad things happen to cars. And the bad things show up one after another. I don't think that changing the fuel pump caused the turbo to go bad.
Well after doing that, if the turbo wasn't bad before then you have just broken it anyway as it MUST have a constant oil supply when the engine is running.
Can i take Turbo off Madza CR-7 and bypass it with something else that would work. Have put 5 Turbos on Car in last 6 months two differant Machanics. last ont went 6 miles and it went bad. what is the problem?
actually no it wouldnt immediately. As long as all your fuel and air lines are hooked up (i.e. vaccum) your fine! Because 1988 didnt have a programmed sync with it's computer to run with or without the turbo it has little affect. But, it will lag your power after you start sometimes it will shut off. But it does run without it. A turbo system is just a superman air induction system. Thats all.I have seen one drive without Turbo. Why would you need to run it without turbo anyways?
Hope this helps more than the other guy commenting.
