Default Radiator/Header tank caps WRX

Can anyone tell me what bar/pressure the header tank cap and radiator cap should be for a 2005 wrx? I've done a search on here but can't find a definite answer.
Cheers

The one on my radiator says 137kpa. The one on my header tank says 0.9 bar. Someone told me they should both be the same. I'm not sure what's right!

You want the higher pressure one on the header tank 😉

1.3 on header 1.1 on rad then? Does it make that much difference if they are the wrong pressure?

Whichever cap is completely round goes on the radiator. The one with the "ears" goes near the intercooler. They must not be the wrong way round as the caps are different in construction.
