Default Civic problem

hi im new to honda, dont have a lot of experience in cars at all, but i bought a 2000 civic ex that has a d16z6 in it and it had a turbo taken off of it before it was sold. the kid needed money for rent bills etc. so he sold the cat-back and all the turbo parts and then sold the car. the car runs extremely slow and extremely loud. i was told the car was slow because the timing is off, which it is set up for a turbo, so i need to put a turbo on it "for it to run right", because if i were to adjust the timing i'd have to take out alot of the internals. The engine is built it far as i know new pistons, cams atc., it has injectorsI know very little about the car, was told it was a b-series, but through my own research found out it was a d...so i cant trust to much of what i was told, all i can say is im ready to turbo this baby whithin a couple of months because im sick of all the noise w/ no power whatsoever, now someone is telling me that to get the car running na all i need to do is put stock injectors back in and have it tuned, i want to turbo it but for right now if i can get it running right i'd be alot better off, so i need to know if this is true and any recommendations u may have, i'll take em, someone please help!, lol!

thanks
Jason
