Let's be civil, folks. Snotty replies are worse for the site than basic questions. Respond to the question or ignore the thread. We all had to learn sometime.

PSI stands for Pounds per Square Inch, and is a measure of pressure -> ie Force(pounds) divided by Area(square inches).

So basically PSI is just a measure of force for how much air is bulding up in the turbo or supercharger system. Boost, Force, lbs, PSI are all interchangebale words that you may hear people say. The greater the pressure the more force and ultimaily more HP the car will produce due to the greater FORCED induction and fuel ratios
