    It is most likely a case of too much crank case pressure. Make sure you are pulling vac in there while at WOT. How is your PCV set up?

    If its not blowing noticeable smoke out i'd guess the PCV system just isnt working right.

    Factory and aftermarket PCV valves leak boost. One from a Toyota 22RE engine is the one I use, but it has to be from Toyota, the aftermarket ones leak.

    Did you phrase that wrong? Where are you going to get vacuum at WOT?

    He didn't say anything about a pump. The OP is new to these cars so I doubt you could assume he knew he would have to install a pump to create a vacuum on the crankcase at WOT.

    Re: dip stick popping out

    As noted, your PCV is either setup up wrong or your rings are worn out.

    Do a compression and leak down test.

    There should be a T on the valve cover, one side goes to the PCV valve, the other to the air box or atmosphere.

    Go here and read- www.thedodgegarage.com turbo database section.

    I certainly didn't make a clear question there did I?

    I was asking if he had any vacuum source pulling on the crank case at WOT. I get mine from the air inlet to the turbo. I have a CAI on most of my cars so I just use that pipe. It does a great job. If the factory setup is still stock then it should do the same job.

    That's weird. Definately check your vacuum routing or just redo it with a simple vacuum block and mbc.

    Amazing how that works when everything is plumbed properly. The vacuum lines according to the under hood sticker are way more complicated than they have to be.
