I think 16-18. Call one of the vendors Nitrous Outlet/HSW/or Dynotune and ask what Gauge to use for switch wiring. 
Lets see you Nitrous Switch Panels
Well I'm gonna have my work cutout for me this week, you guys have just inspired me to rewire and redo my switch panel.
Along with a clutch swap, tranny rebuild, dual cutouts, ABS delete, Line Lock, and dynamatting the entire interior.

Got a fuse panel from the local auto parts, the first one was just a fuse panel, I later found one similiar but also had a ground bus (that one is pictured)
10 Guage wire + from the factory "fuse relay center" (there was a hot lug inside it); to the fuse panel I added. Then the relays put to the + Fuse Block lugs on the panel I added.
Here is my diagram

Verdad Gallardo So when you wire in all your switched 12V in wires like that, how do you fuse them??? I just didn't think it was a good idea to wire them all up to ONE wire like that. If it is ok then I know that will clean up A LOT of my install.
So you use a single 16-18 Gauge wire that runs current to all of your switches and then you place a single 4 amp fuse in-line for your 12V switched power source?
I guess if you use relays for all of the accessories then you really wouldn't have to worry about it.
But is this still right?

In my case there is a fused switched pigtail (ducted tape ready for use from the factory) in the passenger footwell of the C-5 that has a 20 amp fuse to it. I just spliced into that wire and it powers everything on my panel. Most of it is control stuff, less than 1 amp.

relays need like no power to switch the main line to on..but they need a LOT of power to power accessories...they have an activation lead and a ground..then a main power lead and the line going to what needs to be powered.
But nobody seems to get power for the relays from under the dash...44 view no answer!!
