15lb iirc

i think its between 13-15psi you need if its a standard mini radiator. a link to what your buying would be good

Its to go on a radtec radiator on a nicely tuned 998.. theres afew on ebay... item number 380150776380

just had a look on the radtec website and they sell the 18 - 22lb cap.. seems abit high to me, but im not really sure

[newdawn1st]

ooh shiny



Stant do do a 16lb one >>clicky<< the racing ones you might be looking at are stated as for race only and not passenger cars.

These are high pressure radiator caps made for use on race cars only. Do not use them on passenger cars.

I'd wait on the guru's for that one but you could go one better and email Radtec direct and ask them what pressure rating they recommend for the cap, is their rad after all. (Minspares does show 15lb for a standard rad)
