The power problem is heat soak, and can be helped with a bigger intercooler. A good first step would be to get a Turbo-S fender liner, and replace your passenger side fender liner with it. The Turbo-S fender liner has a flap that allows more air to pass through the intercooler. This will help a little in the hot part of the day.

Your clutch was never intended for the amount of power you are now producing. One of the "hot" setups is to use the VR6 clutch and the G60 lightened flywheel. Both are available from your VW dealer.
The Sachs part numbers that I have are:
Clutch 1862 393 031
pressure plate 3082 231 031
throwout bearing 04 3151 180 231
Sachs "kit" p/n K70038-02
Be aware, these part numbers may not show up in a VW parts computer.
