never done a newage but have done a few of my classics in the past. As long as you have all the correct senders, piping etc it is a simple job. All depends where you plan on mounting them?

In 8yrs of driving Scoobs every day - never once needed extra guages...

I wouldn't want to buy a Scoob with any in....... purely as a personal choice of course...

Then for you, extra guages aren't really needed, hence subaru not fitting them

If on the other hand, you do push the car a little (for sustained periods, not just a short burst), it is nice to know what pressures/temps things are running to be on the safe side
