Mishimoto overflow cap $15

I'm looking to purchase the Mishimoto housing with thermostat and was going to order the Mishimoto overflow cap for $15. Is this a waste of money for the cap or knowledge of it, before I put in a order to Mishimoto.

I don't know that Mishimoto's cap version is necessarily 'better' than what the OEM offers, but it does come with a lifetime warranty vs only the two year warranty offered through Ford's version.

We sell both the cap and the thermostat here:

This might seem like a dumb question, but factory is 16 psi, so why would one want to raise it to 20 psi?

To mask over a problem instead of correcting it.

Not assuming just an answer to a question that was asked. The system was designed for 16 psi. Now add another problem to the equation.
