You will need at least: transmission, clutch assembly, shifter, and ECU. You will also likely need the engine harness or someone that can take your harness apart and splice in the required wires / connectors. Then you will need to cut a hole in the front wall and maybe relocate some components.

Oh, and that ECU likely won't work with the rest of your car's electronics so you need someone that can program it. If a manual was never offered in the USA you will need someone that code and write the parameters for your unique engine / transmission / emissions combination.
