What he meant by everything is all this:

-Motor (Complete, intake and exhaust manifolds, IC, turbo, etc-obvious stuff )
-Crossmember (You can use the USDM WRX or STi X-member, but you will have to shim your control arms. The only direct bolt-on x-members are the true GC8 ones and the USDM Legacy turbo ones) i think you can mod yours with a welder..

-Front Sway Bar (USDM WRX wagon if you're using a WRX or STi x-member, Legacy turbo or true GC8 bar if you're using the respective x-members)
-Full Exhaust (anything for a USDM WRX should work, some fit better than others)
-Fuel Pump (at the very least a USDM WRX F/P or you could go with a Walboro 255lph F/P)
-Fuel Pump Controller
-Full Wiring Harness (This is everything from the harness on the intake manifold to the connectors for the o2 sensors, MAF, ECU, etc, to the plug in the rear harness for the fuel pump controller)
-WRX MAF sensor
-WRX o2 sensors(all of them)
-WRX ECM
-WRX Powersteering assembly (You need the pump, remote reservoir, and the lines that connect this to the steering rack)
-WRX throttle cable (You need this for a perfect fit if you're swapping a car that was not DOHC from the factory)
-Clutch (If you're re-using your factory NA transmission, you will need to re-use your NA flywheel as well, and get an upgraded NA clutch. I'd recommend a ACT or Spec clutch, I've heard good things about the AST ones too)
-Boost Control (Simplest is the factory boost solenoid w/ ristrictor pill)

GL with the project. Thats some awesome miles!! I take its Keoni's old wagon.
