You want a direct feed from after the throttle body.

Many tee in the line from the lower intake manifold (LIM) to the compressor bypass valve (CPV).

There's a couple of place you could get the power. I went for the light for the lighter. Maybe that was the long way around it but, I figure if I decide to move the gauge later, I'll have plenty of slack.
