did the switch need to be double pole to run both hots through it? my diagram that came with my lift only shows using one of the hots to go through the limit switch and also inline with the manual shut off switch same wire. i am about to do a rough wire up to run the pump and bleed the cylinders. still looking for a manual cutoff switch to use.

I've always liked working with 2 post in-ground hydraulic lifts back in the day. Nothing beats being able to open a car door fully lol. I had to get a floor plate lift because my ceiling is only 11' and won't accommodate a clear floor model. IMO It's still far better then rolling round on the floor. I ended up added foam weather stripping to all the places that I have noted the doors hitting on the columns. Ironically, the big rubber pad on the carriages have never come into contact with any doors so far lol.

Thank you! I had the same problem! All that work thinking your doing an upgrade to the car, just to go.back and install the stock one. It's a joke! I'll be sure to go leave a trash review on the product, these are being sold for so many different model cars, I got mine for a n55 535i bmw engine, and wow, trash!! Same exact problem, rich conditions due to inconsistent boost pressures and jumpy / hesitant power. I agree, piston is far too small. I have a boost gauge old school and a vacuum gauge teed into my wastegate for live veiw, and needle was bouncing all over The one I received from mamba tek was the same exact thing. They DO have other good products though, not everything they sell is trash at all. It's just not all capable of what they claim.

I have the same Atlas lift and the cheap contacts inside the contactor intermittently welded shut! This kept the motor & lift running until it hit the upper bar limit switch. You mentioned that you installed the emergency shutoff in case the up button sticks, well it’s not just the button that could stick and in my case it was the cheap contacts in the white relay contactor. The contacts melted together.
