hmm not sure about the breather but alot of evo guys put a spring on the dipstick to prevent it from popping out

Is your car smoking at all? You shouldn't have that much blow by. I rebuilt my motor and have ZERO blow by. I have a catch can just incase though.

Ughhhh a picture of the setup would help.
Something isn't venting the pressure.. aka the PCV valve is probably stuck.. that is if you haven't deleted it. Post pics of engine bay.
All that pressure in your engine will quite literally blow out EVERY SINGLE SEAL, if left unfixed. I'm talking about front main, rear main, valve seals, etc. Stop driving until you figure it out.
Adding an oil catch can won't reduce the insane pressure you have in the motor. Not too much shit is really supposed to go through there...
My rec? Post pics, replace PCV with genuine nissan one for now. There might be something hooked up wrong with turbo system. Maybe you need a restrictor, or need to take one out? Hmm.
Dip stick pops out because of boost. That's one boost leak right there =(. Pressure test your system. Replace oring.

I'll try to get pics up but no the car does not smoke and the oil only blows out at boost. My oil pressure doenst even get higher then usual but I'm not sure I have restrictors in turbo lines I guess I have to check. Thanks for the info
