What size hose and air pressure for 1178vxl impack

3/8 hose at no more than 100 psi. I think the manual says 90 psi max.

Is there a protective cover or boot for this model?

No but the over moldings are very durable i have whiped them down with mineral spirits and also Virgin Mask Wash (think like Lacquer thinner but stronger) and the results are a clean tool. No color removal or fading of any kind. I got the mask wash on my Dewalt 1/2" impact and it resulted in the plastic looking like spider web cracks, it was only visual though. But not on the AirCat it's built with industrial shop life in mind
