remote rad filler, cap question?

Okay, I am doing my new turbo setup and it will require leaning my griffen 27.5x19.5x3 rad forward, pretty well on a 45 degree angle, Now I am gonna run a remote filler with overflow.
What do I do about the original rad cap?. I will have a 16-18psi on the remote filler neck, Can I buy some sort of solid cap for the rad? Or should I just buy like a 30psi cap for the rad so it doesn’t open?

Any help is appreaciated.

Thanks,

Jay

I don't have a turbo, but, a 97ss 383 - D1 MM6 with a Be-Cool stock size Rad moved forward. It also angles forward @ bottom. I had to build new top/ bottom rad supports. I also designed a GZMS vac pump drive, so, I had to move the rad. I also went with Evan cooling waterless media, which, is ice cool with no themostat. I had to build a remote fill near the water pump inlet (and other parts). I have some pics. The added space up front was well worth the labor. 4th gens run hot with the stock rad on top of the engine. I had all the tools to do the fab myself. I've been running this set-up for two (2) years. Hope this helps. B.
