Good wire to tap in for power on passenger side? (boost controller)

Hey guys,

I'm trying to find a good wire to use to power my boost controller that is going to be mounted in the glove box. So far I have considered these, but don't really know what they are or if they are good candidates:







If anyone can tell me what those are and if they are suitable power sources, or any better power sources, it would be greatly appreciated.

-Chris

Bump, sorry to be impatient, but I'm just about finished with this install and this is all I need.

honestly, splicing wires isn't the best idea, leaves more failure points in the system, just tape the plug in the driver's side footwell with a spade connector, its stock, its simple and no need to cut/splice any wiring

The fuse block has 2 slots you can insert a male spade connector into. One is a switched 12v source that comes on with ignition. If I recall correctly its the one on the left. That is what I normally use.

Due to the forum's garbage performance (as in how the site is running) my thread didn't show as having new posts in my user panel. Since I last wrote, since I needed the car running and together by tomorrow, I spliced into my boost gauge. Well turns out I'm an idiot and my boost gauge is mechanical, so my boost controller only works when I turn my lights on. This really sucks.

Thanks for the help guys, it's not your fault.
