PSI is Pounds per Square Inch, and on a car this usually refers to a super- or turbocharger. this is a forced induction setup to make the car run faster, by causing the gas to burn hotter and expand faster. However, this could also refer to the wheels of the car, which need to be kept inflated. A simple PSI gauge can be found at any hardware store, and the optimal PSI can be found on the tire. It can also refer to the compression reading of a cylinder(s) or the operating fuel pressure.
