Well in fact I wouldn't think twice, I'd order a GTD DSG as it will be better. But that's just me 
Exonian:
Can you tell me why the GTD DSG will be better for remapping (than the equivalent GTI)?
Just curious.
It was my bad description. I meant the GTD would more fun than a GTI without performance pack due to the high torque output making it a really punchy engine coupled with the lightening fast DSG gear changes that disguise the narrower power band.
Tongue in cheek personal opinion.
In fact the GTD would be easier to remap if you're going for an early car as it will likely be a bit of a wait for the tuners to come up with OBD flash remaps but tuning boxes will be available for the GTD very soon. 90% of the gains of a remap.
