He's talking about one of these. I used one too for my boost control solenoid and gauges. It's a good solution.

Don't worry about the difference in wire gauges, just crimp or twist and solder them together. The load (in this case the gauges) determines the amount of current passing through the wire. So even though you'd be connecting to a larger gauge wire, there won't be any "additional" current to worry about.
