1. No torque dip specific modifications: It doesn't bother me.
2. No torque dip specific modifications: I don't want any potential future warranty issues due to mods.
3. OFT tune
4. UEL Header
5. UEL header + OFT tune
6. Something else: Please specify.
7. Wait for the performance results of the 2017 model before deciding.

Thanks!

If you're worried about the torque dip, get the FT86SF catted header. It fills in the torque dip better than my old catless UEL header did and makes a nice difference in street driving. Not that it's hard to downshift, but with this header as long as I'm above 3000 RPM I can usually forego the downshift.

This is one of the main reason I went back to driving a Japanese sports compact as it makes you really work for it. I call this delay gratification.

I dunno, I'm with @krayzie. I've got a stock 2011 GTI and I can definitely feel the acceleration taper off above 5000 RPM. It's especially apparent going uphill. You can see it in the stock dyno chart as well. The torque curve drops over 40 lbs-ft starting at 5000 RPM.
