When I finish my project I will have at least six things that require a 12 volt power source, three under the hood and three in the car. As far as in the car, would you use the wires for the cigarette lighter? And could three gauges run off of one set of wires? And for under the hood, is there an easy place to tap into? Obviously you don't wrap wires around the battery terminals (like the idiot who owned my jeep before meDodgy)

You can use the cig lighter, especially if your putting your gauges there. The real question is how much amperage and how clean does it have to be? Auto DC is not clean.

Run a wire down to the starter terminal and use an inline fuse.
You can also buy a fuse panel and mount it wherever you can find space. I got rid of the annoying glovebox light and mounted my panel in there.

I think it would be fine there is not a lot of air moving through it it just gets pressurized

I think the more important part is to use enough line so it dose not get hot! some people use copper line coiled around to cool it down form a 1000* +

You could also wrap it around the ATF dipstick tube, that would work like a heatsink allowing less tube to be used.

No. The pump must be cycled with the ignition. Its 1amp pull will drain a battery overnight.

Meh. I don't really like switches for very minor things cluttering up the dash when it could be done seamlessly with the ignition. If I need the pump off I just pull the fuse.
The only switches I have are for the rear dome light, turbo disable and water injection disable (dome, air compressor, WI and climate control knobs on the 240).

I have an exhaust turbine out of a turbo eclipse

The shaft broke and I found it in the catalytic converter at the junk yard I work at! The funny part is that the turbo on the car was fine it had a rod knock but ran and made boost still! And there was another good turbo in the trunk!

They where using nitrous to spool the turbo or some junk like that it had a nitrous ports in the exhaust housing some really goofy stuff!

I like willbe's thinking! BOV closes and POP goes the weasel bahahaha!

Well crap. Guess I didn't spend too much time thinkin that one out haha. Oh well, good thing it was just two cents and not dollors huh?
I know a guy that drag raced VWs. He was using a V8 distributor and the extra four wires went to four plugs that were in the turbine housing! Guess it worked real well in helping the huge turbo to spool

Oooh, that's an interesting idea.... but how would you do it without screwing up the flow in the housing? I'm thinking you'd need custom electrodes.

And why the avatar change back to #21?

Dear jimmy1000000,

Hey, just wanted to let you know that isn't a BOV, it's the EGR valve off of a California car.

Hope that helps you out!
