Default 1n4002 diode? Was it supposed to cone with the boost control kit?

I see brain says you need this "1n4002" diode connecting the 12v and ground of the GM boost controller. Why and where can I get one?

it's not "needed". It's to prevent voltage spikes. It should have come with the kit, but it's not a big deal if you don;'t use one. You should of had 3 leftover from your MS build if you didn't build the VR circuit like I leave out.
