Well we did pretty good guys; got nearly 2months without a petrol vs diesel thread.
There are advantages to both, and there are disadvantages to both.
Ultimately they're totally different to drive, and it's down to personal preference.
The OPs question has sortof been answered already, so can we desist from getting into the perv vs derv battle again, it never reaches a conclusion, and there's never any point in it.
For my tuppence-orth, if you're modding on a budget, then keep the hdi; you'll get a far bigger increase in useable power for very little spent in comparison to a GTi. From what I have seen 30-70s a stage2 mapped hdi is quicker than a '6. It'll certainly feel faster with all that torque arriving in so few rpms anyway!! EVERYTHING is expensive with the GTi6; hence why mine is not on the road. I'm driving a cheap 2nd car to save for fun bits for the '6. I know few people find themselves in this fortunate position, and I would certainly not be able to spend what I plan to if I'd been driving it all winter; the fuel bill would have crippled me.
