You should be OK on a standard clutch - they also fit the V6, so can take a lot of torque.

None of the T4 guys here do an upgrade for the ZT 1.8T but Z & F Tuning can take it up to 204bhp for £239.

Yes I'm going to go for a z&f remap but can the boost be adjusted to give more power,I think this would be possable

Be careful, around 200bhp is reckoned to be the safe limit for the 1.8T without compromising reliability.
