And the only reason I can fathom you get *actual* torque steer is your diff is slipping or you have a suspension/tire issue.
My car may be a unicorn in that sense, as I've never had actual torque steer; just one or the other tire losing traction or what I like to call the third gear rodeo. I could be full boost in 4th at 400 WHP on the freeway and still change lanes using only a finger to steer with.

Can't say either of my stock or 340 hp 3's have that issue.
Now if you ask about my vw rabbit first year usa model and a rebuild with dodge omni 1800cc kit, stroker rods/pistons & dial up the mechinical fuel injector pump rod.
The front side crank up windows would pop out of upper tracks from the chassis actually bending from that torque steer at freeway (55 back in the day) speeds was a great show off to passengers.

Then you needed an alignment
Gen 1 factory alignment was bad.
I haven't watched the whole video posted and even though he mentioned the ms3 his first two examples of what can cause it don't apply to them
Most people complaining about torque steer actually have one wheel breaking loose and then call it torque steer
I personally enjoy when the tire are worn and trying to pass someone on the highway in the rain makes it change lanes on it's own

I don’t have a big turbo and mine are breaking loose going into 2nd and 3rd due to balding tires. Thankfully, it stays pretty straight when it happens. A mew set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are being installed Friday. I wouldn’t buy the Pirelli P Zero again.

So I'm not going to get into the semantics of whatever behavior OP isn't happy with and what we want to call it.
I can tell you that the Damond RMM and the TB Performance Torque Gusset made a HUGE difference in how the front end of the car behaved. I am VERY happy with both.
