I am just going to post a thread of my buddies gt-four whenever he needs a question answered that I might be sure of... I'll start of with a concern of my own, the car does not smoke at idle at all but when boosting the oil dipstick always pops upwards, could this be a bad pcv valve or a clogged catch can? or are we looking at blowby starting, the car is at 1.1 Bar so about 16-17 psi

Looks a nice car! Any mods? What figures??

The dipstick popping up under load is indicative of high crankcase pressure. This can be the dreaded ringlands (worn piston rings). My dipstick popped up consistently and I tried a brand new dipstick and it's never popped up since.

Try the cheap fixes first! I could have spent lots on replacing the rings unnecessarily!!! biggrin.gif
