Talking 12v supply for boost gauge

what is the best way to wire up my racetech boost gauge it is in the facia where the fuel computer usualy would be .i have previously used a feed from the glove box light but seemed a little dull i no longer have it wired this way as i was going do without a gauge until i was in burtons yesterday and couldnt help myself.

thanks in advance

Mines wired up to the ignition barrel or you could go from your dash lights mate

If its just a mechnical guage (the vac hose connects to the back of the guage) then you just need a +12v feed from your dash lights or side-light circuit and an earth.

My guages are in the centre vents and are wired up to the heater panel illumiation wiring.
