bigger the better really

Car audio cable is good, as it's silicone coated and very flexible. If you go for some 2 gauge, that will be spot on

Battery cable 2/3 way down. I used the 11.8mmO/D stuff, probably overkill but the one i replaced was all corroded green/black and very brittle by the turbo.
