Low boost, clogged cat, and maybe something else

Hey y'all, long time no talk. Hope January is treating you well.
So...
96 CSE 5pd
Symptoms:
-Increased turbo lag
-Can't hit fuel cutoff
-Max boost with W hose *disconnected* is roughly 13 psi, gradually decreasing over sustained WOT
Suspicions:
-The cat is clogged due to incorrect AFR caused by a stuck BPC that's been broken for about a year
-The turbo is fried due to something.
So far:
-Air filter is new, plugs are new.
-Removed the cat and stuck a light bulb in one end. No light on the other side.
-Engine doesn't bog, and highway MPG is rock solid at 29
My solutions:
-Swap the turbo with a spare
-Chop out the cat and weld in something else.
-Buy the T7 BPC conversion.
Questions:
-Is my logic sound?
-If I remove the cat, other than emissions, what issues will I run into?
-What did I overlook?
