Well, it has over 6K and it seems to be getting worse. The dealer did tell me that, at this altitude I should use 85 octane and I have for the last three tanks, but I am going to go back to 91 octane and see if that helps. I have never been happy with the response (until the turbo kicks in), even with the higher octane fuel.
Throttle response
Since this is the first turbo charged engine I have driven, I am not too familar with the throttle response. I called the service advisor at my dealer and asked if there should be a delay between pushing on the accelerator and starting to move. He said there would be less than a half second for the response. I think there is a much longer time, it seems that unless I give it a lot of throttle, it is slow to respond. Should the trubo need to kick in before the car moves. When I get into my Subaru and touch the accelerator, it moves right now, instant response. I asked the dealer to check my computer and see if everything was okay and he told me that the computer is so sophisticated that it would tell me if something is wrong. I just think that when I want to move, I should be able to go without so much delay and without calling on the turbo to get going.

Thanks guys, I checked out the link for the diverter valve, but it doesn't say there is one available for the Eos or any 2.0t nor could I find a price. I will look futher into this issue, there is a distributer in AZ I can call.
