I think you can use your orig ECU if they are both the same socket. You would just need to swap over the ECU, Transponder, Imobiliser, Ignition barrel thing (little black thing that makes the ignition barrel look tidy that pics up your key) and Keyfob from the same car.

If using different ECU styles then you would need to unlock it to work with your key/imob etc.
