2.0 jtdm2 remap

Hi, this topic has probably been covered before but looking for information to help me with the reliability of a remap.

I have just purchased an Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0 jtdm2 veloce, 170hp.

I have seen that remaps on these engine bring them to 210hp and 340lbs/ft of Torque.

The car is completely stock at the moment and preferably I would like to keep it like that and get the remap but does anyone know if the clutch can take that amount of power? Or would you suggest upgrading the clutch in order to be able to handle the more power?
Also is there any other upgrades that are recommended before doing the remap?

Thanks in advance
Richard

The clutch will be fine if it is in good condition, remaps tend to highlight wear and tear, so it may start to slip when it didn't before if it is getting on in life.

If it is a stage 1 map it should be fine with everything else as standard.

Decent tyres and making sure that your brakes and suspension are in good shape is also worthwhile. The extra torque may cause torque steer issues if the front wishbone bushes are worn for instance.
