Should all bolt straight in, although you will need a inlet manifold to suit the c4 head as it has a different bolt pattern

Bolt in job. Gear box is the same and the best bet would be to use the current loom from your current car (maybe swap your current OBD Dizzy, Alternator and sensors if they're a different generation). The rest should be a bolt in job.

As for the intake manifold, you dont have to change it if you're going to boost but it could lead to gains further down the line. As b16 mini said, just make sure it'll fit your model (Type R and B16A wont!). You'll get gains from the IM but its by no means 'essential'!
