Turbocharging improves torque curve and ??acceleration behavior??

acceleration rate

In this case, I think acceleration rate is probably the way to go in this context. The achievement of maximum torque at relatively low speed is one of the benefits of turbo-charging. You get a "kick" at lower RPM than you would with a non-turbo engine.

agree Teresa Reinhardt : I'd just use acceleration

pulling characteristics

Not sure about UK usage. Audi have Durchzugskraft down as pulling power, or engine output when not wanting to get your hands dirty as it were. Quote follows.

Hope this helps!

"Among the standard features of the Merc's new flagship diesel engine is a maintenance-free particulate filter and seven-speed automatic transmission. Merc maintains that this new mill is at the top in its market segment in terms of dynamics and smooth running characteristics. This no doubt has to do with its pulling characteristics generated by the 700Nm torque-output at 1 950rpm. In fact the V8 develops its 730Nm at 2 200rpm. Naturally this guarantees flexibility especially when overtaking during mid-range sprints, but also offers relaxed cruising in higher gears. Merc claims that the E420 CDI blasts from 60 to 120km/h in 5.4 seconds in third gear. For a diesel, that's incredible."
