basically

the stock radiator cap has like a ~1.1 bar pressure resisitance, and the STi has a 1.3.

If ur running super high boost.. the radiator cap might burst i believe so ppl get a more resistant cap.. correct me if im wrong thx


It also gives your engine bay that bling blizang to the hizang ;o

radiator is a radiator regardless of what car it's in, all this cap does is hold more pressure before it flows to the bypass...

so not sure why only people with WRX and STI can use it...

of course this cap is not meant for the stock radiator, since it already leaks on its own..
