No point fitting one that uses a 'standard' lambda sensor, go for a wideband or don't bother IMO.

You'll need somewhere to mount the gauge, safe wiring for power and earth, route the wiring to the engine bay for the sensor and you'll need to drill the exhaust and weld the boss in.

Hope this helps
