you got a metal manifold it will fit your car, its allot easier to fit to a sport 1.6 than a GSI 1.6 with plastic manifold as on the GSI you have to fit a lower inlet manifold from the 1.6Sport to get it to fit

torq tube gains about 2BHP less i think the only difference is cosmetic the mantzel just looks better nothing wrong with the torq tube plenty on here have them

20BHP is without the chip mate, you do wanna get a unichip though thats my next purchase, so much better than a superchip, the velos and mantzel's power is high up the rev range 5000RPM up to about 7500Rpm so you will need to raise the limit to get the most from them, but fit some ARP rod bolts first to hold it all together at hight RPM
