Boost does not require power. If you mean for the light, tap into your dash or hvac unit. The a/f, you can tap your fuse block.

It's not necessary for gauges. They barely draw any current.

+1 Tap into the dash or if you can make it look clean find the wire for the light switch and tap that for the boost gauge.

You can tap into anything that runs off the 12v auxilary power. Radio dimmer will work just make sure it's not a constant hot wire or it will always be on. What switch activates your radio dimmer? Because that's the switch that will also turn the light on for the gauge.

FOR THE LIGHT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FIND THE FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX THAT has current when the lights are switched on.. that's all I did and tapped all the other gauge lights off that wire where I added a tap a fuse in the box...works well...light doesn't draw much current boost gauge.. you just tap off a vaccum port I believe
