EBPV diode

I wanna be able to have my EBPV operate normally and on a switch, as an exhaust brake. I got some diodes to keep from feeding the 12v back into the computer, I just dunno if they are the right ones. Which ones do I need for the job. These are the ones I bought.

hey just do like i did, it took only about 30 minutes, and that was cause i had to figure out my own way to do it. i ran the juice from the 15 amp radio fuse, got a piggy back prong, and ran power to a toggle, then to the hot ebpv wire, and ran the ground to the bolt that holds windshield wiper motor. EASY AS PIE> mines auto, so brake only works till i hit my brakes though, ud need a line to Torque lockup if you wanted ot to work even after hitting the brakes. run power from fuse box, and don't look back.

Ive had mine on a switch before. I put it back stock for cold weather. I wanna have the best of both worlds but dont wanna run the risk of backfeeding into the computer.
