Power needed.

Im installing a emanage, boost gauge, air fuel gauge, boost controller, and a turbo timer. I know you can get power from the fuse box but wanted to get some of your guys opnions. I was reading a diy on oil pressure gauge and he taped off of the power outlet in the center of the dash. Only problem is i have alot of electrical running off of that circuit already. Any suggestions would help.

run a new 8 gauge line in from the battery for all your accessories. the whole kit with fuses and everything only costs like 20 bucks at walmart.
from there you can just get a barrier strip or something similar at radioshack so as to distribute it

I recommend a small distribution block like you would find in a car audio setup.

For my neons, I use a 1x4awg in and 4x8awg out to distribute the power, and it works fine running 8 in and 16 out. The plus with those is that they have covers and they are really safe from shorting out.
