PSI measures lots of things, including your tire pressure, but generally they are refering to the "boost" that the turbo/superchargers create.

4dr92cavi4cyl, If you don't mind my asking... Where'd you get your grill? Is it custom? (I've been looking for one similiar)

Thanks

As I learned today, from a thread of mine, is that oil pressure is also measured in PSI. It doesn't sound much like this thread was started by someone with a turbo or supercharger on a Cavalier...
Might just be me though.

Fuel, oil, coolant, tires, trans fluid most any oil or air is in psi readings

LOL! I hate to admit but it's not a billet grille. The factory piece on 92's had an indention on the bottom (93-94 didn't? lots of variations), I filled it with bondo and painted it black, then my expert vinyl graphics guy, (my dad!), cut the lines out of a brushed-aluminum-vinyl. Wish I could find a real billet, but then you'd see all the "secret" stuff through it. The grille weighed less than a pound before, but after the bondo it's around 4lbs. I think I'm going to get another peice without the indent, paint it and maybe do something different. Save three pounds.

Same with the tail lights, just a black vinyl, so if porky fu**s with you just peel it off. I also installed extra running lights in them.

If anybody lives in/near the East Tennessee area and needs some graphics give my dad, Tim, a call, he'll do it right! (423) 967-2852 "The Vinyl Frontier"

Jeez, anything that can be measurement of pressure, that is - a force per unit area, can be expressed in PSI. Very simple concept.
