Narrative:

On the ILS 29R maybe about 1 mile from the FAF we observed a traffic conflict 2 miles out 12 o'clock same altitude on tcad. We were on the radio with socal approach. We were looking for the traffic didn't see it visually. As the traffic alert sounded I initiated a climb. A few seconds later socal called with the conflict and asked for a rapid descent. I pushed the plane over into rapid descent following ATC instructions. We passed the traffic same altitude with 1/4 mile horizontal separation. I should have initiated the conflict resolution and climb and at the same time break into the busy frequency announce the climb for TA resolution. Following the ATC instructions actually made the situation much more dangerous.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: TBM pilot experiences an airborne conflict at 1600 feet approaching the FAF for the ILS. TCAD had indicated the traffic and the reporter had started an evasive climb at the time TRACON/ATC called for a descent. The climb is reversed resulting passing co-altitude with a quarter mile separation.
