the more modded your engine is the more pressure it creates and the stock rad cap ant good enough
if its almost stock in terms of your engine id put a 1.3 bar cap on no point going any higher

I thought you don't need a pressure cap on the filler neck? I thought the filler neck could have just a cap, and the AST was the one that needed the pressure cap. Is this incorrect? By the shape of the filler neck, I really don't see how it's possible for it to create pressure, as the hole that leads to the AST is far below the extent of any pressure cap's reach.

It's like 5 bucks from Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda, 888 533 3400. I'm not sure why people are afraid to call the dealer for parts, Ray makes it easy b/c he owns an FD so you don't require part numbers
