Less boost?

Less blow-by? ;)

Since you're so good at sucking on things, if you sucked on the vent line coming from the valve cover your dipstick would never pop out! :lol:

Could be a blown headgasket too, but it probably is the turbo. The TB won't let a ton of air past it.

If it was the hadgasket i think i would be having bigger preasure issues wouldn't you think? aka whenever there is a detonation/compression in the cylinder my dipstick would blow out and my line would be going whacko too from the preasure?

Not usually. It is just a tiny crack in the headgasket usually and it takes a lot of time to pressurize it. I have never blown one into an oil passage, but I blew 3 into the coolant passages. It takes about 30 miles of driving to get them to show serious problems (usually).

I would check the turbo first though, that is most likely.

yeah, thats what i would of assumed as well, and i didn't notice any bubles in the overflow or if i start the car when its cold and open the cap i would be able to see some bubles at least in the water or feel the preasure whenever the compression and detonation hapens...
