In my very honest opinion, if you are scared of the torque dip and think it will hinder your fun with the car, you're looking at the wrong car and should move on. Get something with a turbo that 'feels' fast.
Anybody that owned a turbo car from the 90s should not even notice the "dip". Just pretend that it's very brief appearance is turbo lag and all of a sudden it becomes a feature not an issue.
