Default Best place to take wires for boost gauge

I have just fitted a boost gauge and wanted a general concensus on the best place to take wires (positive, Negative and illumination) for the lighting of the gauge?

The boost gauge is mounted right side of driver.

thanks

Where abouts are connecting vacume pipe to, which boost pipe.
I'm pretty useless under the bonnet, I've been told to connect it to any pipe at the inlet, to be honest I don't know my inlet from my outlet.

I put a T piece on pipe to DV (same for recirc standard valve) I used black fuel pipe for the first section and then used the clear pipe supplied. Don't use the clear pipe from the inlet as this is not very heat resistant. I find fuel pipe to be the best.

I will post some pics tomorrow.
