Once it's properly calibrated, yes, it should give accurate readings.

Your Subaru should be okay, it looks like people have installed it in '94, '98, and '05 Subarus, so it should work fine in yours as well.

If you're up for it, you can still make your own. There are schematics in this forum for building if off of an Arduino or iDuino, all the other parts are common electronic parts. The kit put it all on a nice PCB for you.
Thanks for the informative reply!

I would love to build my own, it's been a while since Ive gotten down and dirty with schematics. But unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to go hunting around for the different components, if I could get them all at one place I would probably do that, but since the kit isn't available I guess I'll buy it preassembled. I am buying an AVR controller from adafruit, so if I need to change the code (or if you guys make a change) I can always change it.

P.S. Saw Rage at their coachella reunion, awesome
