v6 has betterer power to weight ratio, engine fitted the correct way round to mate to Freelander transmission and you can already pick them up as standard cheaply, for starters.
The v6 will give you 0-60mph times of 10 seconds. This is the fastest standard production FL1 available. Thats what the old 1.8 zetec focus did, as a comparison. Putting aside the bollox of synergy modded diesels doing 60mpg at 150mph with v6 accelleration all at the same time... The v6 is the easiest option and saves you messing about. You don't have to spend hundreds of hours fitting non standard engines/electronics and you can pick them up cheap. Try explaining the change of engine to your insurance. If you need power then a v6 will eat it's gearbox if you drive it like you've stole it. Thats just goes to show how much power it has. Whatever you do you'll also need to plan for regular breakdowns if you choose to use the power as it'll cause more wear and tear.
Hmm well sounds like y'all aren't too keen on the idea, I can understand that. Urgh right now I just want my car back.
Why don't you simply fit your 1.8T engine to the gearbox you have and see how long it lasts? If you don't drop the clutch to often it would be ok for some time. Remember a turbo engine produces no more torque than a Nasp until the turbo has spooled which will ease the power in anyhow. This would give you enough time to make a better box while using the car.
