The automatic ECU is looking for the auto tranny - that's why the code 19. You can either get a manual ECU or convert the auto to manual specs:

i sold my friend a p28 for his car but it was for a auto.. and he did sumthing to change it so it would stop throwing the code.
i guess he made it for a manual ill try 2 find out what exactly he did
