i am about to hook up my boost solenoid and was reading the hondata help files and is says........

"Most boost control solenoids will need a suppression diode to block the voltage spike when the solenoid is de-energized. The suppression diode should be installed close to the boost control solenoid with the diode anode (stripe end) wired to the +12V supply from the ECU, and the cathode wired to the wire to ground."

i have the boost solenoid straight from hondata ( btw i am using flashpro) and was wondering if you guys who have boost solenoids are running the with or without diodes. also if your running a diode how did you wire yours up? i have no clue about diodes but hooking up a 12v source and a ground together with a diode in between doesnt sound good but then again i dont know how it works. thanks for any advice

 

I'm not using one and have never heard of this before. Never had a problem either.
