The engine loom is seperate to the car loom.
Early GSI's had c16xe(no egr sensor etc), later had x16xe(Map sensor, egr valve, immobiliser system)

Vectra had x16xel engine(different head/cams to the other 1.6 16vs, and only 100bhp)

Its not really naff.
Its an alrate engine, especially if you are going mod it.

TBs etc would see about the same power as they would on a c/x/16xe.

Also remember that x16xe(corsa sport/late gsi) and x16xel(vectra) will have the immobiliser system built into the ecu, so you would also need extra bit of loom and the cars ign key.
