Oil pressure switch is behind the alternator.

As there isn't a lot of space, you'll probably need one of these;

SUBARU REMOTE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE FITTING T-PIECE KIT on eBay (end time 15-Aug-09 09:05:46 BST)

Ebay was the first place I thought of looking.

It goes above cylinder number 3, and involves taking off the altornator (quite simple job really)

Number 3 is next to the turbo.
