A "bad" turbo generally becomes a huge restriction in the exhaust AND intake paths effectively choking the engine. While it will produce non-turbo power, a lot of it is used just getting fresh air into and exhausting the hot gasses from the cylinders. It really comes down to the nature of the turbo failure, though.
