Might not be breathing very well. You check the air filter? Maybe bad spooling in the turbo? Dirty injectors? Could even be the gearing.

Rear end gearing. A lower number usually results in slower acceleration, a higher number gives better acceleration.

It would certainly help, but you will need to readjust your speedometer if you change the rear gear. Or you can run a larger tire to offset the difference.

It would get louder, and be illegal according to our government rules (which nobody gives a damn about anyway, lol). What other thing are you referring to?
