I currently have an 08 MK2 TT BPY! Something was wrong with your car Acceleration stock it never feels like it goes flat after 5k unless it's 100 degrees outside and the car is heat soaked.

Fact is the torque dip sucks. If there was a fix offered by the dealer for free everyone except lazy ass people would jump on it. It's not so much the lack of torque it's the fact that off idle the torque feels strong then falls off for a second or two them comes back on.

I love my FR-S. Hell I like driving it more than my 96 C4S. I didn't buy it because I wanted a fast car. I bought it because I wanted a daily driver that I could time attack every corner on my way to work like a D-Bag. Luckily everything else about the car offsets the dip issue.
