My son and I play Avengers infinity pin every day and after awhile we get flipper fade because flipper coils gets hotter then weaker, so we ordered cooling kit which should help. However still want faster shots and make shots up the inverted marvel ramp easier which ball REALLY struggles every time to climb even when flipper settings are maxed out and rear feet lowered. long story short we ordered 2 of Stern's strongest flipper coils for Avengers Infinity Pin which is 1 grade higher than what is installed and want to know if anyone has experience upgrading their flipper coils. You can see in the Pic my Godzilla pinball has coil 090-5020 no diode and game shoots amazing up the invert ramp. So we want that coil installed for our Avengers pin too.
see pic, my Godzilla pin has 090-5032-ND / 22-1080 coil on left and right coil is 090-5020-20-ND / 22-900 no diode.
Avengers infinity pin has 090-5032-ND / 22-1080 for both flippers and want to upgrade both flipper coils to 090-5020-20T coils but they have a diode. is wiring the new coil the same and is coil diode going to make a difference? I know diode allows voltage in one way and not the other, so i think it's protecting the coil or circuit. can I install these coils safely with diodes or should diodes be cut?
any advice is welcomed, I also have 10+ years experience fixing tech and some experience fixing Pins and changing coils.

Reply: I went ahead installed the upgraded flipper coils and got an error on node board 8 because I didn't cut the diodes on those coils. I guess the protection diodes are located on the boards now but back in the day they needed the diodes on the coil. After cutting the diodes on both flipper coils the game booted up perfectly and played amazing but did lower both flipper power setting a bit. I actually had my best game, but once again I had flipper coil fade after 1hr of gameplay so I'll be using cooling kit for sure. I will keep everyone updated and let you guys know how things are running, thanks for all the advice and help. See pic. I cut the diode on the coil after I took the pic. I got the idea to use this upgrade coil because my Stern Godzilla pro pinball machine had it and used the similar node board as avengers Infinity. Not one plastic was harmed during gameplay and no bounce outs on ramps or wire forms.

I added the upgraded coils (needed to cut coil diode) because Avengers ramp shots got too many rejects and default flipper power settings were max out. I also have the coil fans but they only make the flipper coils maintain strength not increase strength. If you get ball rejects then upgrade but it will void your warranty.
*1 month later: I have no regrets in fact pin is more enjoyable and faster. No broken plastics or electronic issues to report but did lower flipper power settings a bit.

another update: upgraded flipper coils performing amazing and shots hit ramps smoothly, almost no ramp ball rejects. No broken plastics to report. I did install flipper coil fans, which helps keep the upgraded flipper coils performing at peak performance and adds life to the coils since they don't overheat anymore. I have 10+ years tech experience and still learning. I feel that originally Stern realized the coils they used were kinda weak for Avengers infinity but instead of upgrading all the coils for stronger coils they maxed out the flipper power setting, just a theory.
