You could use your current gearbox, although the F15/13 would be better.

You need a ecu and loom, the ecu has a built in immobiliser so whatever car you get the loom from you will also need the key and immobiliser stuff.

Do you have the inlet manifold, sensors etc?

I hope you didn't pay much as getting a useable ecu, loom and inlet manifold wont be cheap or easy...
