At 14K I'd buy a well specked low Milage eddy in the right colour combo. The addition of the stronger engine and KO4 turbo would be my deciding factory. Eddies are a lot more rare too. Saying that the MK6 GTI is a very nice hatch too. IMO a well kept, high spec GTI is prob one of the best hatches out there

Im just not sure whether it would feel like a new car as much. The Ed30 are lovely, and have the big old K04 would be sweet, but the stronger TSI and much more refined interior is pushing me to the MK6.

Golf R is out of my range (TAX & Insurance i think) Does anyone know what the tuning potential on the TSI is like. i would only be going stage 1 / 2

The ED30 lump isn't exactly weak is it ! If you are tuning a car too then i think your decision is made already , it has to be the ED30 and people on here are forever selling stage 1 and 2 stuff . If you buy the tuning stuff second hand you will get the money back when you take off and sell the ED30 (if you ever do that is ) As i have said i have at least £10k burning a hole but cannot find any car i want at £20k or under more than my ED30 . Now £30k is a bit different but then i don't do many miles either ...
