I just got a new PC and i realized when i took it out of the box that there was no actual PSI guage. What should I do to measure the psi? Is it possible to oversterilize wild bird seed?

Read the manual to see what PSI the weight operates at.

No, but it is possible to under-sterilize the bird seed.

You got a horrid chinese knock-off pressure cooker. I doubt that will even reach 10 PSI.
Any time a pressure cooker is so vague as to not mention the PSI it operates at, expect it to not be worth your money for mushroom cultivation.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Can you spare $30 to get a cheap one at a retail outlet near you?
The PC you pick up will no doubt hit 15 psi and it will say so on the box.
If you want to risk it, that is your choice but I recommend against it 
I could not say how long I would increase the time for. Maybe double it?

Do you mean an additional 30 dollars? Fuck it was such a bitch to get to the store without a car... i couldn't find any with a gauge either. I think i have no choice but to just risk it with this. It's much less than ideal but I think if i heat it up to max and leave it on for 2.5 hours it should sterilize properly. I will likely have to add more water though to make sure it doesn't all evaporate.

I'm telling you, I don't think it will work.
If you risk it, please come back and let us know so people will know in the future.
Are you in the US?
You can easily order one online.

I am in Canada. I had minor success before with just a pot and rags. I think this might just work...
Fuck i am lying to myself i am not very confident in this at all. I just don't want to go back to the store and go through the hastle of finding another one. Maybe thats the best bet though.

Order one online.
It's not incriminating to buy a pressure cooker.
And you will have something reliable.

Wow this is awesome. It sucks I have to go back to the store but its cool that I can still pull this off properly. I learned in my last grow that cutting corners just ends up costing more money than simply doing it right the first time.

Yeah this is one hobby where cutting corners will do more harm than anything.
You can go cheap and "macgyver style" in some areas.... but sterility in particular is one area where you cannot cut corners ever, especially with grains. I've heard of people using fractional sterilization with grains with some success, but I would never trust it personally. 15PSI for 1hr+ or bust.
