Alfa Turbo radiator cap



I while back I posted a frustrating story about my  Milano running hot in warm
weather w/AC on, and explained all the measures I'd gone through to fix it.
Including the purchase of Alfa Heaven's "double the capacity of stock"
All-aluminum race radiator, which only mildly helped. My mechanic upon hearing
this, had a look around and pointed out that the Race Rad required a cap w/
pressure rating between 22-24 psi, whereas the stock V6 cap is only 15.6 psi,
makes sense, how I didn't see that rating sticker I'll never know. Anyway, my
question, anyone know the rating for the caps on either the Alfa 75 Turbo or 164
(or GTV) 2.0 V6 turbo. I'd really prefer to go with an Alfa part at this point.
I'm told a cap from a Saab Turbo would work and I think Napa stocks something
that might fit the bill, but once again I'd like to go Alfa if I can. Can any
European digesters chime in on this one, and any Saab turbo owners out there,
can you pleae provide pressure ratings for your caps.

Thanks to all.
