I personally dont think their is anything wrong with your cooling system. The guy that tested his cap and found it to be bad probably didnt test it properly, in over 11 years of working as a tech I have changed 1 bad radiator cap. Evos are not prone to having air in the system either.
Unlike engines, tires and brakes, radiator pressure caps never wear out.
