VERY slow? Or just sort of slow? I'm assuming it's NA (no turbo) because you said it's like a small turbo has kicked in. :)

It's pretty slow on my car, but not VERY VERY slow. Perhaps try dumping some fuel cleaner in like Techron and see if that helps.

Also see if you have a knock sensor code.

Mine's pretty slow too. Takes about 11-12 seconds to get from 0-60 on a 740 with 2 passengers.
