What is the fix or adjusment to minimize turbo lag.

The reason I ask is that when I had the 120k service done, I notice that the turbo, when activated was much more responsive and hardly any lag time.

The result being better performance when I need it, but gas mileage has dropped a few miles per gallon. Any correlation between the two?

Thanks,
Joe
