Shouldn't this be in technical? Or are you looking to get the rad cap "mapped" ... lol

The std rad and pressure caps are fine, after market rads are generally less efficient than the Subaru original. So keep an eye on your coolant temps, but the dash gauge reads the same from 60 degrees to 106 degrees so if it moves even a little you should be aware you have a possible big problem.

cheers
