Honestly, a header and ecu tune to lose that torque dip would make me pretty content with the power on it. It's not bad, but that dead spot just gets annoying to me after a while. After that, I think the car will have me 100% sold on keeping it for a really long time.

It has it's little issues here and there. Overall though, I'm happy with it. It's a good car.
The torque "dip" is the beginning of its second wind.. where the fun begins..
you would think with continuous VVT , 2 fuel systems, ECU sophistication and all.. that this issue shouldnt exist. It adds character, I guess. You just need to be aware its there and grab the right gear to put you in the revs above it. Its hasnt been an issue for me.. its not a dip in feel.. more like a plateau in power for a few hundred rpms.. makes it feel like its "winding" up for its torque peak..
