Evo 4 PCV Valve Problems

I've noticed a bit of pressure in my crankcase, its pushing up on my dipstick a bit. I figured it was probably a vacuum line or pcv valve? My problem is that I can't seem to find or order any valves in my area. Even my local mitsubishi dealer doesn't have support for the evo 4, which I think is BS but whatever.
Is there an alternative pcv valve that I can buy that will work in my car? Or do I need a very specific type only suited for that engine?

I don't really know a whole lot about engines, but in my mind any pcv valve for a 2.0l turbo should do pretty much the same thing eh?

Any tips you guys can offer are very much appreciated, I'd love to know what you think of my issue. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Fixed issue

I would think the pcv valve for the 2.0 should be fine...i run two valves on my 8. Stock one and a high pressure to prevent boost from entering the valve cover.

Oh really, two valves? That's interesting. So are those both specially made for your engine or did you find some other type that works for you? My main issue here is I can't find the stock Mitubishi valves.

The high pressure is after market, i cant recall where i got it from...been years. I've pressure tested it to 30psi + no problem...so the manifold pressure doesn't make it to the crank case. I also tested it by blowing low pressure air through the reverse side and it opens up no problem...reason i added a second, is because i know the stock is not that great for high boost apps. I have also not had issues with my dipstick popping out
