check your plugs and clean your MAF sensor

Goto the forced induction section of the forum, it's very clearly dedicated to this and will give you an answer. Aside from that, max boost does not mean max power.

if i had found my answer in there i wouldnt have used this thread. the only thing i could find was that people were saying dont go above 9psi on the supercharger without an intercooler, but didnt include how much power they were making. just asking here cause i wanted to see if it has already been written in stone from other's experiences.

Your original question was how much boost you can run, not how much power. And once again, Forced Induction area likely has it "written in stone" more then this thread that people check once a week. Just start a thread there, whats the worst that would happen? An answer.

Default Issue starting on incline

Recently I've ran into an issue with the car starting if I'm on an incline. I'm thinking maybe fuel filter or fuel pump. Any suggestions?

Info:
08 tC Manual Trans
Ptuning Stage 1 Turbo kit
Clutchmasters Stage 4

Thanks,
Mike

nope, just whenever i park on an incline. Tank could be full and it still does it. I know the quick fix is to not park on an incline, but sometimes that's not possible.

Does the car crank?
I see you have a turbo kit, so do you have a fuel pressure gauge anywhere?

We rarely get any comments about fitment not being good. As another member mentioned, they are hand made so each one is different. The good thing is they have a fiberglass skeleton so slight modification to them can assist with optimal fitment.

depending on whether you're wanting a tucked look or more of a flush...35 will be more so towards in line w/ the edge of the fenders as 45 will be more trucked

Rubbing mainly occurs when your tires make contact with metal or plastic. mostly with when your tires make contact with your fender liners. Rubbing depends on your drop/tire size/ wheel setup
