Without an LSD it would be a bit pointless, as you have already decided!
Given the option stick with 5 speed over 6 speed as you will be going through the gears constantly so less fun.
You not tempted to go stand alone management with that engine to make the most of the 1.9T?

Personally id go for LSD. With the 4wd you'll be losing power more through the transmission and then you could have problems with the haldex. Alot of guys with R32 Turbo's running 400bhp have to resort to different Haldex controllers and maybe more
