The TDI is an electronicly controlled engine... You need the entire wireharness to do the swap which includes:
1. Electronic Engine Control Module (ECU)
2. All sensors and wires
3. Instrument Cluster
4. Fuse Box and wires.
You need a donor car, or a full engine/wire harness on ebay. Other than that, it should fit in there just fine, but you need the electronic controls to use it.
