Damn it. I just read a reply on FA about this. Yeah, turbo inlet should never see boost, and you're probably pressurizing at the filter. That is where the crankcase vent is. That's why you're shooting your dip stick. There are cases where people do shoot their dipsticks, but that's becuase of blow by. Just thought I'd update the TR thread just so everyone here knows!

Epstein, can you elaborate on this more? I am pressurizing the system through the turbo inlet...is this the wrong place to start? And because I am pressurizing the system via this route your saying it would be normail for the dipstick to shoot out because it shares the same air inlet?
