Kaser,
I did a search on the forum and found nothing on these specific things.

The dip stick pops off and starts to shoot oil all over the place, the car has a bit too much oil, but it has always done this. I just found the forum today, and would like to know if anyone knows how to fix this.

Theres an oil hose that is common from the head of my engine, (right by the cams) its on the left hand side, and it leads no where, it just spills oil.

I hooked it up to my air intake (fellow DSM owner told me to do it) and the car started to spit oil out the ass end. So I took it off. Any idea if thats right?

Also I just installed a 2 stage manual turbosmart boost controller, and I have it set on low boost for the time being (9psi in first when romped on, and 5psi in all other gears). Whats a safe amount of psi for the little 14b?

The cars a 1990 talon awd TSI
Thnx

Well I found out why the dip stick is shooting out oil. Theres to much oil in the car and the pressure in the crank casing was pushing the oil up threw the dip stick. Also I need a new dip stick, the rubber on mine is fubar.

I also figured out that the oil hose off of my valvetrain(head) does connect to my air intake, and that the extra oil was because I put to much oil into the car!
