What boost controller needs to be wired up? You mean a SAFC?

The gauge doesnt take up much power, i would run that straight to the batt. I think Turbo Timer, and fuel pump would be ok.

I wouldn't risk it. Your fuel pump draws a hell of a lot more amperage than a few gauges do. I suggest you pull ONE wire off your ignition to power a relay. Much much safer that way. That's what I plan on doing once I get all my stuff ready to go in. I'll be running a turbo timer, 4 gauges and a fuel pump. I'm probably going to run 2 relays. Not sure yet. But like I said, if I was you I'd run a relay to power all that stuff.
