Re: WTB: Cap for intercooler tank.
Just make sure you get the correct type, Most Japanese cars use this size, but there is more than one type. Certainly at least two types that I know of and been fitted to cars that I have owned and at least two others. Of the 'type' fitted to our trucks, one is deeper than the other and is the one you want.
There are quite a few that share the same pysical dimensions, but the difference is the pressure rating, usually 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1 bar. I'm not sure of the rating of ours, but probably not a major issue. Someone else may know the correct rating if they have an original cap fitted.

Re: WTB: Cap for intercooler tank.
On my old cap is says 13lbs. Lbs means of course weight, but I have understood, that occasionally it is used also for psi ratios. So, 13psi = 0.9 bar.
I found the cap, that suits to our cars:

And if you scroll down, there is veeeery looooong list of other cars/bikes it fits also!

Re: WTB: Cap for intercooler tank.
With a seller feedback rating of 94.7 and comments like "junk" and "doesn't fit my car" from previous buyers, I would not spend $18 to be another disappointed buyer.
Jimmy provided you the correct numbered cap; Stant is a reputable product....why not get what has been proven to work? To each his own, I guess.....

Re: WTB: Cap for intercooler tank.
And at the end, I also bought similar cap as above from another place, which was in Latvia (right next to us), with better rating and cheaper price! So - each to their own...

Simply, it's just not available here in Estonia...

Yes. I know him very well and we are good friends. Although he has not been driving it 3-4 years. Says, that takes too much gas...

What's his truck number?
I stumbled upon a for sale ad for that Ty a few years ago.
