Default What is the coolant reservior cap pressure rating?

Title says it all... I've heard and read 1 and 1.5 bar, (15-16psi and 22psi)... I believe I need a new cap and am not sure which to get...

Thanks for your response!

Your expension reservoir cap will be a (Behr) OE replacement rated at 12-16 LBS,my 968 is an 93 should be the same for yours.

Kind of weird location for an expension reservoir cap,loosen the nut -drop the expension tank & lol buy yourself one of those super fancy one from MR.Gasket they also come in blue to match your car color.At least you'll be able to top of your coolant without removing that higthly modify exp-reservoir.
