a turbo into a n/a?

hi there, yall
i have a thought
can a turbo be converted into a na?
this would include: removing turbo (duh), changing exhaust manifold, relocating intake (lets assume the battery is in teh trunk). would the ecu need to be replaced? the intercooler can remain there, because it's a big job to get it out...no biggie.
is this possible?
reason i say this: i think my turbo is bad, and driving it as an NA would be a good option before i get a nwe turbo. if i need an ecu, i canget that from a local u-pull-it thingie, everything else is cheap.

thanks!
