cant remember where i took the power from in mine, but have you looked at using the light on the cigarette lighter plug? Nice and easy to find and identify.

all up to you really, and what trade offs you want. I have mine at 11, but have seen some run up to 16 and all the way to 30, but the higher you go the shorter your engine will last and at higher boosts, the more likely it is to go kaboom.

A good tune coupled with slightly higher than standard boost will give excellent results though.
