I think T13 in 3rd gear would possibly be as fast or faster only if you had more power at such low engine speeds (you were as low as 3000 rpm) or if you were already at the limiter in 2nd before completing the exit (you still had ~1500 rpms before rev limit on exit).

When I had my 1.8T GTI there, leaving it in third for that corner worked best because of those two reasons - I had a lower top speed in 2nd gear, and I had a wide spread of torque regardless of engine speed in 3rd gear.
