Like the title says, does anyone know a good source to pull ground, +12v and switched +12v for a boost gauge install. I remember on my '11 ecoboost, there were a lot of one-way valves that made it tough to find a spot with both boost and vac.

Thanks! The 801a package does not include a boost gauge.

Sorry to go off topic but I can't help cause I won't have a truck till next week but does the 801 come with a fuel range in the menu?

I ended up getting +12v from the purple/green wire on the left side of the column, Ill from the pedal adjustment switch, and grounded to a bolt by the e-brake. Tapped the boost line in pretty much the only location of a small, soft line.

You can just change your settings to always show digital boost gauge....?

This is where I tapped for boost. it is pretty ugly, but Ill clean it up at some point, it is tough because you have to use a few adapters to neck down so small. I also left it long in case I need to re-route anything after I install the AFE intake.
