Here's a step by step on an STi for boost, oil temp, oil pressure. Follow these and you'll be good. Hardest part is the sensors. Wiring from the center clock is the easiest way.

Is the AF Wideband or Narrowband? There will be extra work if wideband since you will have to weld on a bung to your DP, the others should be no problem as long as you have either the galley plugs required, or a sandwitch adapter.

not necessarily. if he is using an after market DP he can just remove the rear O2 sensor and use that bung. then all he would have to do is flash out the CEL. the rear O2 is pretty worthless since the ecu uses the front O2 for measurements.

and if he bought a narrowband that will pretty worthless unless he wanted a light show

^ Yeah, but the o2 sensor placement in most aftermarket DP's isn't really where you want a wideband sensor, but yes it would work. And u just never know, some people like light shows!

buy a gallery plug from from the suby dealer (parts department), it's a cheaper route and I don't mean cheaper as in quality.

here is the part#

Subaru part number:

11024AA210 - Main Gallery Plug
