Thinking of upgrading my clutch as I am nearly getting 170 HP at the wheels. Is this necessary? cheers

Surely whoever did the power upgrades would have advised you of this? If its gunna slip it'll do it towing or in sand, bug load in other words.

Is 175hp about the same as 130.5Kw ?

Sorry for the late reply. My cousin recommended me to go with Exedy Safari tuff clutch H/D. They have a standard Safari clutch but Exedy told me to go with the H/D which is rated to 795NM. Will be getting it replaced when i am in brissy next week, will let you know what i think.

sorry dude did you mean what upgrades i did power wise lol?
I went with a uni chip ecu and injector driver, also got the EGR delete which shouldn't add anymore power other make the engine more efficient. I didn't bother with an exhaust. I also installed a HPD front mount intercooler.
