Default i'd imagine
your clutch would take a little more beatin (assuming you have 1.8T) since there's less torque to get moving....so you'd have to rev a little higher...and your braking would suck...but other tha that...

Default A turbo is a turbo. Makes no difference which fuel type..
either way, you will be leaning on the turbo a LOT more when towing something heavy.

Default He's Scottish, say it with a Scottish accent, it will make much more sense!
It also helps if you have several pints of Guinness in you. :-P
