Plus it would sound different, something I really enjoyed about the first two R32s. This all assumes that you can run it sideways of course.

I'm one of the few that seems to find flat fours in VWs and Porsches perfectly nostalgic and awesome. Even if I also think the GT4 with the n/a six is perfect. Both can and should exist, and it would be especially cool to see a GT4 RS with the full boat 4.0L at some point.
OIC. I Am not sure how they’d fit it, maybe at an angle? And you’re right, it does sound good especially in sport mode.
