did you route the line from the valve cover to the IC pipe? If so...remove it as you are adding pressure to the system and giving you massive blowby

uploading pics now, taken with a camera phone so they arnt the best.
PCV Valve is NOT routed to the intake, I have a small breather filter hooked up to it.
Its almost as if the oil pan is being pressurized when it shouldnt be, forcing the dipstick out and oil everywhere. No visible oil leaks from any other line.

...also got a decent amount of white smoke coming out the exhaust.
As for the white smoke, do a compression test if you have a tester. Im thinking the rings are bad or the turbo oil seal is bad. If its been smoking before the turbo then its the rings or valve seals.
As far as the oil dipstick thing...im at a puzzle myself.

change your actual pcv valve i believe its not operating correctly
Its supposed to be a check valve lets pressure and oil out not in. so when its faulty its
lets pressure in. Check it out!!!

only thing i can think of is the pcv is stuck open and causing him to boost the block. its a PIA to get to....not really just have to remove the IM

I am the actual owner of this car. Friends were helping me out while I was at work today by creating this thread.
Is it possible that the banjo bolt we used to bolt the feed line to the turbo is causing the oil pressure to spike? I am installing an autometer oil pressure gauge right now to see what kind of reading I am getting on this motor. I have never heard of this kind of problem before and have never fucked anything up ever before on any car I have worked on so Im pretty pissed and trying to figure this out. Thanks for any help

also.... the breather filter that attaches to the valve cover is soaked in oil. so is my valve stuck open?

UPDATE!
I searched all over the internet and this dipstick shooting out with oil all over the engine bay seems like a common thing with dsm guys. Same thing, once they hit boost of 6+ psi their dipsticks come out. 2 most common problems for them I guess which are bad pcv or simply a bad dipstick rubber.
So I checked my dipstick and it sits in there rather loose. The rubber is old, cracked and pieces missing. Happened to have a spare dipstick in good shape on hand and swapped that out.
Oil pressure at idle = 35psi
Oil pressure @3000rpm = 60 psi
According to my fsm: idle should be 11psi and @3000rpm 60-70 psi
so i have too much pressure at idle. I did not attempt to drive it and hit boost again though.
Next is my pcv. I took off the breather and at idle it blows air out. Shouldnt this be sucking my finger in from vacuum at idle? If it is the pcv ill replace it, after looking up info on it, it doesn't seem half as bad as people make it out to be.

i checked the FSM, and realized the PCV is below the intake manifold. In the process of removing it now.
Hopefully this is the problem.
