Buschur sells a spring that holds the dip stick down from shooting out.. Not exactly sure why this happens but I know they started selling these a couple years ago.. https://secure.buschurracing.com/cat...roducts_id=946

Whenever I had this problem in 4g63t, it was broken ringlands.
So first tighten you dipstick if it keep poping out then u will have to replace ur pistons.

I just bend the dipstick at a 45* angle right after the plastic handle.

my car never done this but my tuner acted as though this was or could be common at high boost levels. Thus along with every other vacuum hose, i have the dip stick zip tied down and it works perfectly.
