well lots of things related to the drinking petrol:
1-Spark Plugs ( need to be changed)
2-Air Filter maybe be clogged,so the car don't breath right(but you got an induction kit)so that will be a good thing :).
3-Oxygen sensor or Lambada sensor,it can make the fuel going rich,and the spark plug won't be able to burn it right.
The breather pipe is for the oil evaporation.
Good Luck

Firstly you do realise the induction kit you've bought is for a 16v engine..? Also if your 1.4 is a 16v what year is it as it will not any car from 2003 due to a sensor and pipe work being placed differently between year (poxy french).
Also the breather pipe is there for where your original breather are connected into your stock filter box. It's basically to catch oil fumes and send them back into the engine or something of a similar nature from what I've heard.
