what parts of the corsa C require an ecu other than the engine? What makes the conversion so electrically complicated?

Been done. In fact, see a Corsa C on 16"s doing high 13s at PVS 
Think the engines are all different. All electrical compared to the mechanical older engines.

Yes there has been at least two different turbo cons done in the C.
One was running a C20LET and the other a Z20LET.
Personally I would keep with times and go with the latter.

wasent that the 2lt turbo (new engine astra GSI) the corsa was 5 stud at the front and 4 at the back  wasent it on the vauxhall stand
as daimo said amm elec on the new corsa, so a real pain in the ass, u need to run 2 ECU's and a second loom.
