Knowing *NOTHING* about turbocharged engines, I was wondering. Would a

loss
of the turbocharger still allow the engine to produce the same power as a
non-turbo engine of the same size at the same altitude?


Depends on the failure, but sure...a failure like Bob describes simply
results in partial power loss, turning the engine into a close approximation
of the normally-aspirated version.
