Get yourself a 1.4 bar coolant cap from an e30. Shit will stop exploding.

So the idea is to allow the cap to release pressure sooner?? Have you tried this already? No issues with coolant loss??

I like the concept

There is a long thread Slick did earlier this year, I won't derail this thread but that's the concept. Not allowing the system to reach a 2 bar venting pressure means that you won't ever put 2 bars of stress on plastic cooling components (30 psi)
