I don't think power or amperage is an issue here, as none of these take any 
current at all compared to the ignition coil. Getting wires to each of them is 
pretty straightforward, too, as VW just made a simple wire that daisy-
chained the power from each device to the next.

"Ball Jet" ? The only ball jet item I know of would be a type of float valve that 
used a steel ball, but these have no special shutoff features, so I don't know 
what you mean here.
