same gauge as the one on the pump. the red one. which one is hot. any kind of switch will work from autozone. you need the led one

Fuel pump wire at the relay is black/yellow but I'd recommend cutting the feed wire since it's low current, it's black/pink.

No fucktard, you should not cut the high current lead. Cutting the ECU feed is safer and does not require a heavy duty switch, plus it does not add resistance to the circuit which could possibly cause a voltage drop at the pump.
