the only problem is the throttle sensor, as there really isn't very much else.. the black pipe can split underneath and cause air to leak in

You can replace the TPS switch, there isnt really a bigger one available (there is its very rare). Bolting on one from say a 2.0 8v would need an adaptor plate making. However the 1.6 16v engines have a noticeably smaller TB dia, so its debatable its not necessary to enlarge it seeing as they are good for 150bhp on a similar plenum (powerbox) inlet.

Really! Tell me more about the 1.6 16v throttle body. There is one adapted to see how they do it?
