try go for the prosport if funds are tight , you need to buy the kit in the second or third link, you remove the oem switch, put the kit in place so it allows you to run standard switch and 1 for the gauge

Go for tried and tested gauges, not cheap Taiwanese stuff, IMO.

If they were good enough for Prodrive, then they are good enough for me.

No, no no!

The oil PRESSURE gauge fits where the OE oil pressure switch is, (front top of block, driver's side, under alternator belt, one wire to it), using one of those flexible adaptors. You either use the supplied bung in the second hole, or refit the original o/p switch. (mine is on the shelf in my garage).

That nut is for fitting an oil TEMPERATURE sender, the adaptor for which is the FIRST one you showed, a sort of brass bolt with a threaded hole down it.

DO NOT mix up the two areas, they have been earmarked by Subaru to give the most accurate and reliable readings.
