I believe our diesels are less sensitive to throttle position changes due to the diesel engine's lack of a throttle plate. Improved aero should only help efficiency since they simply add less fuel with reduced load and can run very lean compared to a gasser. That said, if you can do the 6 speed swap and keep the engine at about 1,800 rpm at your chosen highway speed that is the sweet spot for BSFC for the TDI. It's on my wish list.
