It's a Viair 325C, I think it's rated for 150psi. I'm using a 110psi=on, 140psi=off pressure switch, in addition to a ground-activated relay. If you are worried about overpressure, maybe just use a pressure switch that is 20psi or so under your max? They make some pretty small air tanks, but I don't know where you'd put one in a Subaru. Alternative would be to fabricate a long, thin one perhaps that would fit under a seat or something.

There is a very similar model that is a 100% duty cycle unit, just a little slower, I think it's the 340C or something like that.
