Not sure I follow.
Are you saying the you want to remove the downpipe with the turbo still attached?
I dont see why not. How badly are the bolts rounded? Have you been using a 12 sided socket on them and it has mashed them up a bit. Have you tried a 6 sided socket?
If they are goosed and the only option is to remove the turbo with the downpipe there is a few things that need to be addressed.
Water/oil lines will need to be removed from turbo. (you will loose lots of coolent so its worth draining this first)
inlet pipe and turbo>TMIC pipe.
unbolt uppipe
unbolt turbo to head bracket
unbolt turbo to bell housing bracket.
I think that should do it. Good luck
