I'm also referring to the AWE gauge instructions for electrical install...

current draw for illumination is jack diddly squat. Any decent stranded wire you can find will work

Default So you bought an overpriced VDO boost gauge

14-18 gauge wiring is just fine for the little backlight in the unit. Wiring is as simple as 1. Attach lead to Yellow 75X power post; 2. Attach lead to ground point.

Eh...I figure for as little as I pay for labor I'll splurge on the gauge.

Default If that's the case, you should've gotten the AWE Tuning vent gauge

Price breakdown of the gauge and tubing: $30 for the gauge; $6 for the tubing. You can then DIY the vent mount.
