It would be redundant considering that the TIU already has TVS. But if you are like me with a belt, suspenders and elastic waistband mentality; I would install them on the MTH T- blocks. First off they are dirt cheap and second, in this case redundancy causes no harm.

Pre knowledge of TVS I had $85 Power Guards as spike protection. I donated one to Dale Manquen (RIP) to do a "forensic" analysis and to compare its effectiveness to a TVS. Conclusion: the $.50 TVS is far more effective than the $ 85 PowerGuard. The Point: I asked Dale if I should remove the redundancy of the PowerGuards and he said to leave them and enjoy their red/green indicator lights ( photo below).
