By the time you've "MacGuyver'd" the whole thing together, you could have simply swapped in a whole new or rebuilt turbo or center cartridge. On top of that, it wouldn't be as easy as you think to bypass the turbo.
Oil: The oil is supplied under high pressure, and is allowed to drain off under no pressure. Without placing a proper restriction in the line (or capping it off entirely), there wouldn't be enough oil pressure for the bearings.
Water: Similar problem, but not quite as acute. The main issue here will be simply mating the gozinta and the gozoutta...
Exhaust: What is is you will substitute for the turbine and housing in the exhaust stream? It's got to be capable of handling extremely hot temperatures, and it will have to be properly shaped so as to direct the exhaust flow. Without that, it'll eventually blow out the first surface it runs into.
Inlet: the inlet is about the only easy part of this. A simple elbow of rubber or silicone should suffice.
The only "right" way to do it would be to substitute a non-turbo exhaust manifold and exhaust system and inlet piping, and plug up the oil & water lines.
Swapping a turbo is - at worst - a weekend's job. If you don't take too many breaks, it's less than a day.
