A little backround about myself and abilities.

Current Roadracer and own mechanic

Have rebuilt motors and transmissions


I am totally new to turbo systems and have some questions on the car I just picked up. I bought a 97 GSt with a blown tranny that has been sitting for 2 years. I rebuilt the tranny and have it running down the road. Replaced fuel line, fuel filter, pcv valve, spark plugs. Ran a engine restore fluid to try and clean the motor out. Now the question at hand is I have a boost gauge installed an when the turbo spools it gets up around 11 psi and starts to drop at 6000 rpms. It also pops the oil dipstick out when I get on the gas hard. So what would be a good area to start looking into for possible boost leaks and any other possible problems.

As for mods

Anytime you touch anything related to the turbo system do a boost leak test.

There is so much information on this site for you to look over it'll hurt. Your dipstick is poping due to excessive crankcase pressure.
Let me know if these links help you out or not. If they don't I'll get ya pointed in the right direction.
